Advice to Marathoners- Dean Karnazes, Ultarmarathon Man

[pramodkrish]

He could've been talking about the Karma theory...be in the moment !

@pramodkrish that's called carpe diem

This guy's slow as shit, have you seen him jog? FACT: his marathon PB is over 3:00!!!

@TheSwingingSword

he can run 350 miles in one, no sleep, no stopping. i'd be much more proud of that than running a sub 3 hour marathon

[TheSwingingSword]

@rob2323wales and I can run 450 miles non-stop as long as I don't have to prove it. There was no witness to that event so this argument is based on what he SAYS. Yet many great ultrarunners have challenged him on a race and Dean has refused all of that. He knows he's an average ultrajogger but gets more attention than he really deserves. He also gives bad advice to novice runners such as his famous "have you seen a lion stretch" stupidity.

@TheSwingingSword You can run 450 miles? That's incredible! You should write a book!

[TheSwingingSword]

@123gwf he has never run 450 miles, he's lying.

[123gwf]

@123gwf No . . . . . . . . . . It's impossible that he was being sarcastic. IMPOSSIBLE. Just like it was impossible that I was being sarcastic, too.

It's just impossible, I say!

@TheSwingingSword He ran 3:00 at the conclusion of his 50 marathons in 50 days

Dean is a great guy. I've gotten back into running recently and I really owe it to him. He's an inspirational guy

The 1 idiot with a dislike is a pussy that doesn't want to push through the low LOL!

[lpoollax7]

@irontruck What, i hear SwingingSword knows what he is talking about. Sorry I don't run bitch pace my entire run, and I actually like to competitively race. There is a reason why he doesn't race the best.... because he is a pussy and it has nothing to do with pushing through pain....bitch.

[gsmokha]

He's my favorite :)

I like what my friend says when we run. "this is a journey not a race"

If you train well and don't over do it. It wont hurt at all. Trust me I ran my first full marathon with only 3 weeks sloppy training. I was a weight lifter and thought I was the shit. I damn near died and it HURT, I was carried away. I could not walk for 3 days!

next year I training for 9 months and is was soooo much better. I just cruised along the Big Sur coast enjoying the view. At the end I was like..(its over already?)
