Want a strong, solid relationship that is willing to go the distance? Get to know your running shoes.
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.
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
I never feel more alive than when I'm in great pain, struggling against insurmountable odds and untold adversity. Hardship? Suffering? Bring it!

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.

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
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 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
Sure I'm cut but not for the sake of vanity.
Dean Karnazes
I run because it always takes me where I want to go.
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
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
A lot of ultramarathoners are soloists. They're single and live lives off the grid.
Dean Karnazes
Somewhere along the line we seem to have confused comfort with happiness.
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
Go out hard and finish harder.
Dean Karnazes
There is magic in misery. Just ask any runner.
Dean Karnazes
If you keep chasing your dreams, one day you'll catch them.
Dean Karnazes
Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must just never give up.
Dean Karnazes
Don't run with your legs, run with your heart.
