Dean Karnazes: Pursuing The Ultimate Runners High

Get ready to be inspired as we have an enlightening conversation with none other than Dean Karnazes, ultra marathon author and athlete extraordinaire. We delve into his fascinating journey from a child who loved running to a successful businessman who did not run at all, and then the life changing moment on his 30th birthday that changed his career and life. Imagine the mental discipline necessary to endure long races, let alone running an astonishing 350 miles in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep - Dean shares how he managed this feat and the personal growth it triggered.

As if that's not enough, we pull back the curtain on the intriguing concept of running 500 miles and the secret to falling asleep while running. Ever wondered how it feels to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days? Dean gives us the inside scoop, and we also discuss the potential of the lactate dehydrinase syndrome. Alongside, we take the opportunity to draw parallels between writing and distance running – a fascinating look at how the lessons learned from running can transfer to life.

Wrapping up, we touch upon Dean's proudest moment - running a 10K with his daughter on her 10th birthday, and the unusual challenge of running for 24 hours on a treadmill hoisted in the air in the middle of Times Square. We also get into his new role as ambassador for Greek tourism and how he started his running tour company, Greek Running Tours. From his understanding of the weight loss journey to his admiration for his mentor, Jeff Galloway, Dean's take on living a life of grace and being the best one can be is sure to leave you inspired. So, tune in for a dose of motivation, inspiration, and intriguing insights.
