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 cardcellcoordinate share on social
When I was running across the country, I was doing 40 or 50 miles a day in sleeting snow with zero visibility for five or six days in a row. Ten to 12 hours of running in that is monotony beyond belief. Dean Karnazes beliefcountryday share on social

There are so many things in life that divide us, that separate us and tear us apart, be it race, religion, creed, socioeconomic level, nationality or any variety of other factors. But running is something that we all share in common. Dean Karnazes commoncreeddivide share on social
I don't know if I'm so much fueled by trying to one-up myself so much as passionate about coming up with new and greater challenges. I don't see it as a contest, but as a natural progression. Dean Karnazes challengecomecontest Change image and share on social
A lot of ultramarathoners are soloists. They're single and live lives off the grid. Dean Karnazes gridlivelot Change image and share on social
