Dean “Ultramarathon Man” Karnazes on Life, Marathons, etc.

By Paul Kedrosky · Thursday, August 28, 2008 ·

Last week Dean “Ultramarathon Man” Karnazes spoke last week at Google about life, ultramarathons and his outrageous feat of running 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days. His first book was harrowing but inspirational fun, and his new book sounds equally interesting.

As a semi-editorial aside, Karnazes' speaking may start somewhat clunky, but it gets better and more flowing as he goes along, so bear with it and just watch the video. It’s great stuff.

Btw, his resting heart rate is 38 bpm, and his body fat is 5%. Whoa!
