Dean Karnazes Running on a Treadmill

Dean Karnazes is trying to break the Guinness Record for the most miles run on a treadmill in 24 hours. You can watch his live webcam here.

I went to the Regis and his Ho TV shows studio to see if I could run with Dean on the extra treadmill next to him. Security would not let me --they probably feared I was too awesome and would make Dean look bad ;-)




I did get to take a video and talk to him a bit, he was very friendly, claimed to remember me (I've run in races with him a few times and Gwen and I have hung with him briefly at some marathon expos). He tried to make me eat his pizza. Eventually security kicked me out. Fuckers.

I think you need to be a runner to understand...

And, fyi, I don't think he broke the record. I do believe Chris still holds it.

I attempted the world record for 24hrs two weeks ago, managed 129.2 mles, not bad, I was happy with that in the end.

wat if he had to use the bathroom?

You'd probably kick Dean's ass. He's slow as shit. And he's a liar also.

Some of these runners are so silly with the records they go for. He's really not going very fast. Its more mental than physical. I mean why not try to break the record for most miles run around the White House or fastest marathon while wearing Mickey Mouse ears and a clown nose?

he is my hero ;)

[StefanoPelinga]

5.3 mph i suppose?

[StefanoPelinga]

what was his average MPH for that ?

[annatheduck]

did he break the record? I thought Chrisopher Bergland was the one who broke it. Is this that time?
