Rich Roll: BACK ON TOP | The Rebuild Series

18 months after spinal fusion surgery, Rich Roll completed the goal he set out to do: crossing the finish line of the NYC Marathon at 60, while guiding Cedric, a veteran and double amputee. When his surgeon told him he should retire from running, Rich didn’t want to hear it. In this film, he looks back on the 18 months since: a year when all he could do was walk, then strength training and PT, then a first one-mile run six months before race day. He talks about why the marathon felt different this time, with “a new relationship with running” and no big performance goal, and what it was like to guide Cedric. He also reflects on what the crowd and the city gave him, why he thinks “if Cedric can, you can,” and why he wants to keep showing up to events like this “to be a runner among runners.” In this film: 0:00 Surgery 18 months ago 0:19 Marathon day and a new relationship with running 0:50 Guiding Cedric 1:12 From walking to 26.2 miles 1:42 Looking ahead to running 2:19 Community and the crowd 2:41 “If Cedric can, you can” 3:03 Crossing the finish line 3:22 Why he keeps showing up :arrow_forward: Watch the full series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE68Iaqrpi0E&si=01DBXLQWz5YwoYUJ :arrow_forward: Start with Film 1: https://youtu.be/5Ytgv_KobtM?si=htP0Gig-l2EWwQM7 :arrow_forward: Shop Momentous: https://www.livemomentous.com/pages/momentous-x-rich-roll?srsltid=AYCX9vLZUvm54NkledCbWz6DvlUMtm1K4D3edQ6GTqfLFRQgYvXi9Qi4
