Item Description...
Dean Karnazes has run 350 continuous miles through three sleepless nights, ordered pizza during long runs, and inspired fans the world over with his adventures. So what does a guy like this do when he wants to face the ultimate test of endurance? He runs 50 marathons in 50 states-- in 50 consecutive days.
With little more than a road map and a caravan packed with fellow runners and a dedicated crew, Dean set off on a tour that took him through a volcanic canyon in Maui in high humidity and 88-degree heat; to an elevation gain of almost 4,000 feet at the Tecumseh Trail Marathon in Bloomington, Indiana; to a severed moose leg found alongside an Anchorage, Alaska trail that compelled him to sprint for safety.
Now in this heart-pounding book, Dean reveals how he pulled off this unfathomable feat with a determination that defied all physical limitations. But Dean goes beyond the story of the Endurance 50 marathons to share his invaluable secrets and advice for athletes of all levels. These are the tips that kept Dean going during the 1,310 miles he covered and 160,000 calories he burned while averaging sub-four-hour marathons and often sleeping fewer than four hours each night. Learn how to:
A Recover more quickly
A Adapt to extreme conditions
A Prevent muscle cramps and overheating
A Pace yourself when you "hit the wall"
A Stay motivated
Packed with practical advice and including training regimens, 50/50 will inspire you no matter what your fitness goal is, whether it's simply walking around the block, running a 10K, or completing yet another Ironman.

 | 50/50 Jan 7, 2010 |
| As always, Karnazes inspires and motivates me. He seems to have it all together mentally as well as physically, as the well-roundedness of his character and his happy demeanor is written across every page. What a pleasant experience; reading one of his books. As a therapist, I always prescribe good nutrition and exercise to my clients., and cite the importance of positive physicality. To me, vigorous exercise is not only the cure but self-enhancement tool for many individuals suffering from depression and anxiety. I wish that Karnazes could speak directly to all of these folks..He's probably "fix" most of them.. | | | | Good Easy Read Nov 25, 2009 |
| Great book especially if you read the 1st. Easy to Read, it won't take you long and it will get you pumped to run more. You won't get a ton of "secrets" of how he does it (hard work and determination), but still worthwhile. Dean is truly an inspiration and I plan on reading whatever he writes in the future. | | | | Amazing person! Nov 7, 2009 |
| I read this book right before I did my 7th marathon. The weather for my marathon was during a "Nor-Easter". Out on the course I would think of certain things I read in this book which helped keep me motivated to finish. If Dean can do 50 marathons in 50 days, I can do one on a crappy weather day. What an inspiration! | | |  | Not as good as "Ultra-Marathon Man", but still a good read. Oct 26, 2009 |
| Not as good as "Ultra-Marathon Man", but still a good read. Less story telling and more instruction/advice. | | | | Good experience Oct 22, 2009 |
| The item arrived quickly. Very pleasant experience, and get personalized handwritten note from the seller as well! | | | Write your own review about 50/50: Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days -- and How You Too Can Achieve Super Endurance!
