More quotes by Dean Karnazes
There is magic in misery. Just ask any runner.
Dean Karnazes
I do a lot of marathons as training runs. If I'm somewhere and there's a marathon, I'll sign up and just go run it.
Dean Karnazes
If it comes easy, if it doesn’t require extraordinary effort, you’re not pushing hard enough. It’s supposed to hurt like hell.
Dean Karnazes
Toeing the starting line of a marathon, regardless of the language you speak, the God you worship or the color of your skin, we all stand as equal. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people ran.
Dean Karnazes
I love to run and I have some tips to keep it fresh and novel. I rarely use the same route twice. That keeps things new.
Dean Karnazes
If you keep chasing your dreams, one day you'll catch them.
Dean Karnazes
I love surfing, rock climbing, cycling - all that stuff. But it's just amazing that I can inspire people with my running. It's humbling, really.
Dean Karnazes
I run with a credit card and a cell phone, so when there is not a 7-Eleven around, like some of the country roads out there, I can get him to deliver a pizza to me. And I kind of give them a coordinate, a corner.
Dean Karnazes
I eat nothing that's processed or refined - no high-fructose corn syrup, no sugar, no trans-fats. I eat a lot of fish and monounsaturated fats from olives, olive oil and nuts. A lot of organic, fresh fruits and vegetables. No bread. No gluten. No wheat. No rice.
Dean Karnazes
Endurance running was my passion, my ride. So here, I was in the driver's seat, running for two days straight pushing the mental and physical limits striving to be better, to go farther, to give more.
Dean Karnazes
Running is a simple, primitive act, and therein lays its power. For it is one of the few commonalities left between us as a human race.
Dean Karnazes
A lot of ultramarathoners are soloists. They're single and live lives off the grid.
Dean Karnazes
Don't run with your legs, run with your heart.
Dean Karnazes
Even if you're inches away from the finish, never take success for granted.
Dean Karnazes
Listen to everyone, follow no one.
Dean Karnazes
How to run an ultramarathon ? Puff out your chest, put one foot in front of the other, and don't stop till you cross the finish line.
Dean Karnazes
Runners are competitive folks. I think some might feel slighted they haven't got more recognition. I think they have a point. In running, you won't necessarily get noticed just for turning in good performances.
Dean Karnazes
Some seek the comfort of their therapist's office, other head to the corner pub and dive into a pint, but I chose running as my therapy.
Dean Karnazes
I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary.
Dean Karnazes
I run because it always takes me where I want to go.
