TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
DEAN KARNAZES
Today’s training inspiration is Dean Karnazes. He is best known for his jaw-dropping feat of running 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states, inspiring the documentary and nickname “Ultramarathon Man.”
Like a couple of our other training inspirations, David Goggins and Marshall Ulrich, Dean Karnazes also trains and competes in mind-and-body-torturing ultramarathons that can extend beyond 100 miles.
His victories include the 2004 Badwater Ultramarathon and the 2006 Vermont 100 Miler. The Badwater Ultramarathon is a will-exhausting 135-mile course in sweltering heat that also includes a sapping elevation gain (and loss) over the stretch.
His accomplishments in endurance tests include running 350 miles in 80 hours and 44 minutes, without stopping, among many others that will boggle the mind.
So today’s theme…endurance.

TRAINING NOTE
Well, got quite a bit in today. The 5K wasn’t terribly fast, but the idea was to keep it at a “brisk jog” and not push myself into the redline at all, so I guess it was about what I expected. The stationary bike was pretty badass though.
INSPIRATIONAL CLIP
Here are some selected moments from Ultramarathon Man, the story of Dean Karnazes’ 50-state endeavour and the fitness goals it inspired in the people whose lives were touched. If this doesn’t make you get up off the couch and hit the track or the gym or the treadmill…put your finger to your wrist and make sure you have a pulse.
