Dean Karnazes has run 350 continuous miles through three sleepless
nights, ordered pizza during long runs, and inspired fans the world
over with his adventures. So what does a guy like this do when he
wants to face the ultimate test of endurance? He runs 50 marathons
in 50 states-- in 50 consecutive days.
With little more than a road map and a caravan packed with fellow
runners and a dedicated crew, Dean set off on a tour that took him
through a volcanic canyon in Maui in high humidity and 88-degree
heat; to an elevation gain of almost 4,000 feet at the Tecumseh
Trail Marathon in Bloomington, Indiana; to a severed moose leg
found alongside an Anchorage, Alaska trail that compelled him to
sprint for safety.
Now in this heart-pounding book, Dean reveals how he pulled off
this unfathomable feat with a determination that defied all
physical limitations. But Dean goes beyond the story of the
Endurance 50 marathons to share his invaluable secrets and advice
for athletes of all levels. These are the tips that kept Dean going
during the 1,310 miles he covered and 160,000 calories he burned
while averaging sub-four-hour marathons and often sleeping fewer
than four hours each night. Learn how to:
- Recover more quickly
- Adapt to extreme conditions
- Prevent muscle cramps and overheating
- Pace yourself when you "hit the wall"
- Stay motivated
Packed with practical advice and including training regimens, 50/50
will inspire you no matter what your fitness goal is, whether it's
simply walking around the block, running a 10K, or completing yet
another Ironman.
