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
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
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 breadcorneat share on social

Beyond racing, I just love the art form of running, of conceiving new ideas like the 50 Marathons in 50 States in 50 Days. It's the ultimate expression of what I love to do, which is run, and travel, and see this great country. Dean Karnazes artconceivecountry share on social
I am always nervous before the start of a race. It helps me to say to myself to try my very best. That is my commitment. No matter how bad it gets, I will try my hardest. Dean Karnazes badcommitmenthard Change image and share on social
