EP. 66: A Conversation with Marathon Legend Amby Burfoot

A conversation with Dean Karnazes, ultra-marathon runner, and author. Among many accomplishments he holds the record for the longest continuous run of 350 miles in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep, and winner of the Badwater 135 milre run in Death Valley California. His first book, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner, details his ultra endurance running origins and accomplishments. He's since written 4 more books including 50/50 which details the secrets he's learned in running 50 marathons in 50 states, in 50 days.

We talk about his origin story and the books he's written about running. We discuss his running accomplishments including the 350 mile consecutive run, Badwater and the 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days.

We have an exhange about the boom we've seen in marathon running over the last 5-10 years and I get Dean's perspective on what's fueling it.

We talk about the often oversold adverse effects of running and whether or not he's experienced any of them in the 30 years of running long distance.

We talk about what he's doing now, what he's doing next, and what he's doing with Greek Running Tours.

Finally I ask Dean about his legacy and whether or not he thinks about his place in the annals of ultra marathon running.
