Product Description:
In the Fall of 2006, Dean Karnazes, known as the "Lance Armstrong of the running world," took on the ultimate challenge: running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days. Dean set off in a caravan packed with fellow runners, with nothing more than a roadmap and a determination that defied all physical limitations.
50/50 goes beyond the incredible story of these 50 marathons. It is a firsthand account of what happens when your body defies all limitations, and it is a fascinating story of what it's like to push the limits of strength under grueling conditions.
This book is also packed with Dean's secrets and training tips that runners everywhere will want to know. These include what to do when you hit a wall, how to adapt quickly to drastic terrain, how to get motivated after a really tough day, and the best diet and exercise tips to improve your own best time. Complete with Dean's practical tips on building endurance, this book will appeal to marathon runners and athletes everywhere.

Dean Karnazes will inspire anyone to get out and run. In this book, he shares how he completed fifty marathons in fifty days. His stories made me feel as if I was part of a ¡°running family.¡± Dean¡¯s writing style is friendly and informative; it made me feel confident about my running goals. Running a marathon no longer seems like a far-fetched dream, but a doable goal that I can reach if I don¡¯t give up and I¡¯m willing ... Read More

Likely you saw Dean Karnazes on the news promoting his 50 marathons in 50 days. I remember watching him thinking "is this guy crazy?" For the majority of us, completing even one marathon would be a lifelong goal achieved. Here this guy is looking to do not one or two runs in a season but 50 without even a day of rest. Like many people, I wondered why this person would even trey such a feat. In fact, was it even possible?
So when I got a chance to review 50/50, I jumped at the chance. By ... Read More
Rating: - 50/50 by Dean Karnazes
How this man is not a dull boring freak I don't know, but he's not. He writes in a light hearted, easy to take in way about an enterprize that is plainly incredibly tough. Like his earlier book about running at night, this is detailed enough if you are after info, but dramatic and enjoyable about his epic journey too. It just never tires-rather like him! He is like a Duracell bunny to those of you who watch adverts on English TV. Good Job, Deano!

- not the book you may expect it to be
I purchased Dean's book, having run #47 in Wilmington DE with Dean, I looked forward to this book and what I assumed would be some interesting detailed description of the 26.2 "events". Instead what you get is often just rambling about life, running etc - from Dean's perspective of course. Nothing new unless you are a novice runner.
The chapter that supposedly starts with the Deleware marathon contains ZERO details of the day - instead you get how busy everyone's life is and how you have to "find ... Read More

- Interesting Read
Very interesting and entertaining book. Not as enthralling as UltraMarathonMan, but a solid second book from Karnazes.
