Ultrarunning legend Dean Karnazes has run 262 miles — the equivalent of ten marathons — without rest. He has run over mountains, across Death Valley, to the South Pole, and is probably the first person to eat an entire pizza while running. With an insight, candour and humour rarely seen in sports memoirs, Ultramarathon Man has inspired tens of thousands of people — nonrunners and runners alike — to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and simply get out there and run.
Ultramarathon Man answers the questions Karnazes is continually asked:
— Why do you do it?
— How do you do it?
— Are you insane?
and the follow-up queries:
— What, exactly, do you eat?
— How do you train to stay in such good shape?

Alıntılar

  • Muriel Pacheco Orozcoalıntı yaptı5 yıl önce
    I liked this kid. To most non-runners, running is at best boring and at worst terribly painful and senseless. But he seemed genuinely intrigued by the venture, and we’d connected on an almost primal level, though I didn’t sense he’d take up the sport anytime soon.

    But struggling and suffering, as I now saw it, were the essence of a life worth living. If you’re not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you’re not constantly demanding more from yourself—expanding and learning as you go—you’re choosing a numb existence. You’re denying yourself an extraordinary trip.

    The only way I knew to succeed was to try harder than anyone else. Dogged persistence is what got me through life
