Have you ever heard of Dean Karnazes? He runs ultramarathons, which are 50 or 100 mile runs. He’s not just an ultramarathon man, he’s the ultramarathon man. He’s run continuously for 350 miles, ran across Death Valley and ran a marthon in the South Pole at -40 degrees. In a word, he’s insane.
This fall, he’s doing the North Face Endurance 50, which is 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states starting. Some aren’t actual events, he’s just running marathon courses in those states. (If you’ve ever tried to plan a cross-country ballpark tour, you know how hard this is to coordinate…) In total, he’ll run over 1,300 miles in 50 days, which is more than most people run in their lifetimes. We get tired just thinking about it.
