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

Named by TIME magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” 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’s run across Death Valley in the middle of summer, and he’s run a marathon to the South Pole. On ten separate occasions he’s run a 200-mile relay race solo, racing alongside teams of twelve. His list of competitive achievements include winning the World’s 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!  And would you believe he's never sustained an injury?!? 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 :) Enjoy!
