Yes, my dad's a marathoner. He used to do sprint distances and then started marathoning. My mom is an endurance animal. She does three-day events like the Susan G. Komen three-day walk. Dean Karnazes animaldadday Change image and share on social
The first thing I do when I walk into a hotel is find the gym, and if they don't have a gym, I start looking for a handhold where I can do my pull-ups. Sometimes if a shower curtain rod is sturdy enough, I'll do them there. Dean Karnazes curtainfindgym share on social
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 lotmarathonrun Change image and share on social
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 competitivefeelfolk share on social
I don't know about you, but all this modern technology that's supposed to save us time and effort has actually ended up making things more complicated in my life, eating up extra time. Dean Karnazes complicateeateffort Change image and share on social
I've raced on all seven continents at least twice. I've probably run thousands of races. But the single race that I'm most proud is a 10K. Yes, a 10K. I ran it with my daughter on her 10th birthday. Dean Karnazes 10k10thbirthday Change image and 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
Personally, I don't stretch, I don't get massages. Maybe massages would be useful, but I just don't have the time for it. Dean Karnazes massagepersonallystretch Change image and share on social
I have an ElliptiGO. It's a standup bicycle. You don't pedal; you stride on it. It allows me to have the same striding motion as running without the impact. Dean Karnazes bicycleelliptigoimpact Change image and share on social
Adventure books are my personal favorites. 'The Endurance,' a story about Ernest Shackleton's legendary Antarctica expedition, or 'Into Thin Air,' Jon Krakauer's personal account of the 1996 disaster on Mt Everest, are two notables. Dean Karnazes accountadventureair share on social
