Dean Karnazes Interview (Outside Magazine)

[The Monkey Man]

OM:
Does it have to be painful to be fulfilling?

DK:
"Western culture has things a little backwards right now. We think that if we had every comfort available to us, we'd be happy. We equate comfort with happiness. And now we're so comfortable we're miserable."

[The Monkey Man]

Did anyone read this?

 

[j-man2]

what the hell is he talking a 350 mile run,

 

[j-man2]

i ran 350 mile and burnt 40,000 calories (is this over a couple months?)

 

[Bakerboy]

what the hell is he talking a 350 mile run,

I think he was talking about a multi-day race, ultramarathons, where runners run back to back marathons over a period of days.

 

[P-funk]

I haven't had time to read it. That guy is amazing though!

Why didn't you call me last sunday to do demo work?

 

[ponyboy]

He did it non stop, without rest. The guy is an unbelieveable endurance freak. He also ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days - in a row.

They had a log of his 350 mile run and he was running at points while basically asleep.

 

[Bakerboy]

People who do ultras are not human. Can you imagine running with Dean Karnazes? He would probably be like: "You suck, you call yourself a runner. You think you are tired, hahahha. You don't deserve, to be tired. You are shit and I am a god, eat my dust sucker!" Then he would give you the finger. As you wobble home, you would be thinking to yourself... that guy is a real asshole...if I only had a gun.
