There is magic in misery. Just ask any runner.
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
If you just go out there and run 100 miles, it breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of self-imposed limitations.

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.

Listen to everyone, follow no one.
Dean Karnazes
I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary.
Dean Karnazes
Want a strong, solid relationship that is willing to go the distance? Get to know your running shoes.
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 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
Go out hard and finish harder.
Dean Karnazes
A lot of ultramarathoners are soloists. They're single and live lives off the grid.
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 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
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.
