“100 miles is like the new 10k.”
Luis Escobar talks with
Ultramarathonman Dean Karnazes, one of TIME
magazine's "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World." Men's
Fitness hailed him as one of the fittest men on the planet. Among
his many accomplishments, he has run 350 continuous miles,
foregoing sleep for three nights. He's run across Death Valley in
120 degree temperatures, and he's run a marathon to the South Pole
in negative 40 degrees. On ten different occasions, he's run a
200-mile relay race solo.
Dean talks about his introduction to distance running and his
involvement over the past twenty years. Luis and Dean share stories
about running the Badwater Ultra Marathon and the Western States
100 Mile Endurance Run.
