EP238 Life, Loss & The Love Of Running | Dean Karnazes

Published: Nov. 2, 2021, 6 p.m.

Named by TIME magazine as one of the \u201c100 Most Influential People in the World,\u201d Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits. Among his many accomplishments, he has run 50 marathons, in all 50 US states, in 50 consecutive days. He\u2019s run across Death Valley in the middle of summer, and he\u2019s run a marathon to the South Pole. On ten separate occasions he\u2019s run a 200-mile relay race solo, racing alongside teams of twelve. His list of competitive achievements include winning the World\u2019s Toughest Footrace, the Badwater Ultramarathon, and winning the 4 Deserts Challenge, racing in the hottest, driest, windiest and coldest places on earth. It's fair to say he runs a touch more than I do that's for sure! 

\n

And would you believe he's never sustained an injury?!?

\n

We talk about the day (or night) he put down his last birthday drink, stripped down to his shorts and left the bar to run an impromptu marathon.  We talk about the loss of his sister, the gain of his passion and purpose and what drive him to run and run and run :)

\n

Enjoy!
