More quotes by Dean Karnazes
Go out hard and finish harder.
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
There is magic in misery. Just ask any runner.
Dean Karnazes
I never feel more alive than when I'm in great pain, struggling against insurmountable odds and untold adversity. Hardship? Suffering? Bring it!
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
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.

Don't run with your legs, run with your heart.

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.

Want a strong, solid relationship that is willing to go the distance? Get to know your running shoes.
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
Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must just never give up.
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
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
Sure I'm cut but not for the sake of vanity.
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
For me, as for so many runners, there really are no finish lines. Runs end running doesn't.
Dean Karnazes
The human body is capable of amazing physical deeds. If we could just free ourselves from our perceived limitations and tap into our internal fire, the possibilities are endless.
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.
