    je suis toujours impressionné par les coureurs du marathon, comment courir aussi longtemps, c'est admirable (avant je courrais les semis-marathons, mais j'ai jamais pu tenir un marathon entier)

    Nice angle! Captures the grit and determination of the runners more closely than a straight up shot would have I think.
