About this listen

Ultrarunning legend Dean Karnazes has run 262 miles - the equivalent of ten marathons - without rest. He has run over mountains, across Death Valley, to the South Pole, and is probably the first person to eat an entire pizza while running. With an insight, candour and humour rarely seen in sports memoirs, Ultramarathon Man has inspired tens of thousands of people - nonrunners and runners alike - to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and simply get out there and run.

Ultramarathon Man answers the questions Karnazes is continually asked:

- Why do you do it?

- How do you do it?

- Are you insane?

and the follow-up queries:

- What, exactly, do you eat?

- How do you train to stay in such good shape?

It is hard to believe some of the things Dean mentions in this book but I believe every word. From the insane distances to eating food while running and even sleep running. Truly inspiring.

I really enjoyed this and highly recommend. I did think that the narrator sounded like Jim Carey from Ace Ventura pet detective at times.... But I got used to it.
