Andy Clark is a 31- year-old guy, a father and a journalist, who
considers himself moderately sane. But in the course of training for his
first marathon race, he begins to question his sanity -- as well as his
muscles, lungs and joints. Running for exercise was a joy compared to
this. Training for a marathon is tough, grueling and painful. So why do
people do it? Why in the world is Andy doing it? Find out as we
accompany marathon man Andy Clark from the start of his four month
training to the finish line at the Rotterdam marathon.
