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
Many athletes are seeking new and novel ways of pushing their limits, and the challenge of running back-to-back races is certainly one way to test the boundaries. Dean Karnazes athletebackboundary Change image and 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
Running was a part of my hardwiring, and that's what I wanted to do. So this is what I tell people who talk about wanting to follow their passion. 'It doesn't have to be running. It can be basket weaving. Be the best basket weaver in the world. Throw your heart and soul into it.' Dean Karnazes basketfollowhardwiring 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 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
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
