“Marathon Challenge,” TV Special

October 30, at 8PM on PBS, NOVA will be presenting Marathon Challenge, a television program that documents 13 individuals throughout their weeks of training for the Boston Marathon - a first for all of them - as well as the changes that occur inside their bodies via MRI, treadmill tests, heart monitoring, and other diagnostic tools.

I am interested in watching this, especially being able to see how the body changes, repairs itself, and adapts to serious exercise. I hope it will be a fascinating program!
