Run Forrest Run!

Dean Karnazes is a superhuman marathon runner. He has covered over 1300 miles in 50 days as well as going 262 miles non stop. At 44 years old he has a resting heart rate of 39 beats per minute and only sleeps 4 hours a night. As a previous PR executive of a pharmaceutical company he now prefers the foot race over the rat race. Doesn’t hurt either that he is now able to supports his family of three with a North Face sponsorship and the income from his memoir as the Ultramarathon Man. As we speak he is running to his San Francisco home after finishing 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days after completing the final one in New York. Yes, he is RUNNING home from New York.

Wired mag has an article about him in the January edition. I know what you are thinking, this guy makes us look like piles of shit as we sit in front of the TV all day. Sigh… Time for a beer and another slice of pizza….

Here is a clip of the Journey Film documentary of his 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days feat:
