Dean Karnazes completed his epic journey of running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days with a 3 hour performance at the New York City Marathon yesterday with an official time of 3:00:30. Like Sam Thompson, who ran 51/50/50 and finished August 19, Karnazes, 44, has demostrated clearly that running long distance on a regular basis is not only possible but within the capability of many people. Of course it requires training, determination and perseverance but these are human qualities not superhuman.
Karnazes said that he had reached his goal of raising $100,000 for Karno Kids -Â a foundation he created to benefit youth-fitness programs.
In two weeks Karnazes will be running in the American 24 hour Championships at the Ultracentric in Texas and with such a solid training base will be looking for a good performance.
