Steve Prefontaine Tribute

A tribute to Pre

[@bamadad53]

Thanks for sharing. Steve was 2 years older than me. I never knew him (I’m from Alabama) but knew of him. I ran track in high school (180 yard low hurdles) so I became aware of Steve when I was running track. My track coach was a former wide receiver and track star at Auburn University. He told us Steve was the most fascinating runner he had ever seen in person. I wish I had been able to see the Legend race just once. It would have been one of the all time highs that I could have ever experienced.

hes so inspirational, after watching this i couldn't but to go for a 4 mile run!

[@XCaddict2009]

that's awesome. go pre!

[@chiefshakenbake]

whenever i run, the pain sets in after a few miles, i think of jesus....and steve prefontaine

[@themaverik100]

i used to watch this movie before every race, i was undefeated senior year.

[@justG0Twicked]

Pre was definitely THE man!! Love him!!

[@fucksmcgee]

My high school team all know this guy...before one of our meets/races we always have a carbo-load/pasta party at one of our houses and we watched Prefontaine/ and Without Limits...that was the first time i heard about him...even now he is by far my favorite runner of all time and no matter how good somebody else's time maybe. He will still be #1 in my book.

perfect song and nice pics

[@mikem9252]

what a great runner and an incredible young man - a comet gone too soon

[@16tommygun]

What bothers me is many high school kids today don't know or respect Steve Prefontaine. I just don't understand that. When I was in high school, graduated in 99', Pre, yes he was gone, was the guy who inspired many of us. Pre gave me the reason/motivation to complete the most difficult workouts in high school and college. Pre gave me the reason to give my complete best. If it was not for Pre, I would not have gone sub 9, pr was 8:58, in the 3200 or 4:12 in the 1600. Pre is a true inspiration..

[@adarlingpe]

I loved the pictures and music... well, all but the two pictures of Jared Leto imitating Pre. He was the most charismatic Pre actor, but he was no Pre! I was a Jr. in HS when Pre died... Damn! I was so bummed i never got to see him run in person.

[@BushMania4]

Dude... he was great...

[@forest69ist]

He was only 5 seconds off the world records for 5km and 10km at the time early 1970s

[@thefallen2124]

Citius, Alitius, Fortius. Faster, Higher, Stronger. Pre did all of that.

[@cindylynn1968]

Go Pre Go!!!!

[@ANARKI2009]

i love steve i am a freshman who runes cross country and i went to state this year and i made me a shirt saying stop pre and put a pic on the back of the shit that was him and i put his famas quote on the back with a nike sign. rip steve

[@7294smk]

So many runners try to imitate him. He was an oringinal.

[@jerryskid1]

GO PRE!

[@jordanevans9031]

I think it's a shame when people regard Prefontaine as 'the greatest runner in history' etc...It brings him unnecessary negative attention! Of course he was not the greatest - not then - not now. He was the best they had in America - granted...but there were plenty of Europeans who could beat him at 3k-5k even at his best. This takes nothing away from the guy though - he was an immensely tough competitor and a very determined athlete. A great loss to American track and Field. Go Pre!!!

[@runwithkyrstin2002]

great vid

[@seanallheart]

Sean Rice of Louisville, Kentucky cheers at top of his lungs ... Go Pre =D GoSEAN.org !!!

[@Croatian4ever]

[@runners56]

Sweet Bro! go get it, I know you'll do it.

[@nickansh1]

happy early by 2 day birthday :)

[@coolplaces123]

Amazing video, great job! What is this song?

[@bader854]

@davemichaelis Pre wasn't THE man....Pre IS and ALWAYS wil the the MAN!

[@simp2662]

He died so early. Huge loss to the US.

[@theguyinthefunnyhat]

theres a song about him: prefentaine by lodger

[@rajec555]

GO PRE ! Can anyone tell me the name of song please ?

[@BlackAria1974]

@ratliff2006 Ask someone who has been touched by his life. People know his story. Your East African dominance runners replace themselves every year and no one remembers them.

[@joseojos8599]

Dios mio😅😅😅😅😇😇🤣🤣🤣

[@JustinRehfeldt]

ha let me guess you used windows movie maker.... there we go!

[@BillyTheKid62]

Where do you get the pictures?!

[@runnaWorkman]

2:52... thats not pre.

[@runners56]

hey bro, what was your PR for the 3200m?

[@Sean-wj1wu]

I could have beaten Pre , if I drove a 4 wheeler and he had concrete shoes... lol

[@jordanevans9031]

But who knows, if it weren't for that tragic accident...there's no telling how good he could have become. Personally, I don't think he would ever have been the greatest 5000m runner..he lacked the speed for the final stages of the race. But as for the 10000m - I think he could have done very VERY well. He was much more suited to this distance. If Pre had ever won a gold medal at the Olympics, it would have been in the 10000 for sure. Such a shame we never got to see what he could REALLY do on it

[@jokoyaka]

Was his 800m Pr really only 1:54?

[@franklinosis]

well aparantly 1 person runs yards not miles....

[@jordanevans9031]

Sure...you were undefeated because of the movie.

[@samanthadarling2879]

At 4:37 i said "Holy Crap!!! My fastest mile is 6:55 and I'm 12!!"

[@champkind74]

i guess in order to win you had to have facial hair

[@jordanevans9031]

Why are you telling us what your best times were for the mile etc?? What's that got to do with anything? Nobody's interested bud - we're here to talk about Steve not listen to you self-congratulate yourself! Never have gone sub 9 if it wasn't for Pre haha what a load of nonsense...

[@MrCheapskate85]

i go to the same high school that steve prefontaine went to
