Next, let's take a look at his story.

From start to give up
Dean Karnazes was born in a small town in western Los Angeles. His parents have Greek origin. This may be the marathon gene that comes with blood.

From reading kindergarten, Karnazes feels fun and runs home every day.

At first, he simply went from school to his home. Later, he felt so boring and studied a variety of routes, which also brought him into a whole new field.

In third grade, he organized and participated in short-term running activities with other children.

As Karnazes grew up, he began to test his limits.

At the age of 11, he hiked through the Grand Canyon and climbed Mount Whitney (the highest mountain in the United States). At the age of 12, he rode 40 miles (64 kilometers) to the grandparents' house without telling his parents. .

In junior high school, Karnazes met Jack McTavish, an athletics instructor at Karnazes.

He told the Karnazes Marathon that "Run out, work hard, and it feels bad to run a marathon. It should be like hell. This is the best run."

This became the Karnazes life motto.

In 1976, Karnazes transferred to St. Clement High School for family reasons. Although he joined the school's track and field team, he suspended his running career for fifteen years because of his disagreement with the coach.

He resumed running and gave up Karnazes after running. He started drinking and was expelled from the school twice.

Until his sister died in a car accident, Karnazes cheered up and worked hard to study and work, becoming a famous local entrepreneur.

Although he abandoned the run, he surfed. The degree of surfing is also professional athlete level.

In an instant, Karnazes reached its year. After celebrating his birthday with his friend, Karnazes emerged from the bar and suddenly he had a fever and began to run forward.

I ran for more than 8 hours, 30 miles, and my feet were foaming. Karnazes who fell to the ground found that running was the life he wanted.

From that moment on, he decided to resume running.

Hanging Runners Dean Karnazes, who has been back running for life, is just like a duck.

He ran freely, and in his interview, he said: Get up every morning, run a full-time marathon "warm up", and then "ride" hundreds of miles by bike, and then "play" surfing.

Constantly pursue their own limits: continuous "50 days to run 50 marathons in 50 states" (2110 kilometers), "24-hour continuous mountain bike ride", "crossing the San Francisco Bay", "the only so far wearing running shoes in the Marathon in Antarctica The “running people” became the champions of the four major desert challenges, including the Chilean desert, the Gobi Desert in China, the Sahara Desert in Africa, and the Antarctic ice sheet.

Karnazes made several books and also took his own documentary, known as the live version of Forrest Gump.

He conveyed the spirit of the marathon to the world and let more people fall in love with running.

In addition, Karnazes loves the environment and loves life.

He raised tens of millions of dollars for charity through running. He created a miracle of running 350 miles in 80 hours and 40 minutes. The purpose was to save a baby who was waiting for a heart transplant at Stanford Children's Hospital.

"I think I can continue to move forward to help save this little life. All efforts are worth it," he said.

This is the "king of the super marathon"
The story of Karnazes.

Maybe our life is not always satisfactory.
But as long as we love it,
Still we are passionate about
Then we can have inexhaustible motivation to pursue it

Do what you love, love what you love
