An ultramarathoning legend, Karnazes has raced and competed across the globe, from the heat of Death Valley to the frigid cold of the South Point. He once ran 50 marathons, in all 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. He's run for hundreds of hours without rest and was called a real superhero by Stan Lee. In A Runner's High, Karnazes chronicles his return to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in his mid-50's after first completing the race decades ago. The Western States is infamous for its rugged and remote terrain and extreme temperatures, and becomes one the most demanding competitions of Karnazes's life, a physical and emotional reckoning with himself and what it means to stay true to one's purpose, mile after mile. Confronting his age, his career path, and his life choices, we see Karnazes as we never have before. In the end, there is no end. He lives for the journey. For Karnazes, the running experience is about the runner and the trail. It is not the sum of achievements but a story that continues to be told each day, with each step. A Runner's High is at once a page-turning adventure and a love letter to the sport from one of its most celebrated ambassadors"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C469056</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C469056</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karnazes, Dean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/469056108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062955500/MC.GIF&amp;client=oakvillepublibrarybc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Road to Sparta]]></title><description><![CDATA[In 490 BCE, Pheidippides ran for 36 hours straight from Athens to Sparta to seek help in defending Athens from a Persian invasion in the Battle of Marathon. In doing so, he saved the development of Western civilization and inspired the birth of the marathon as we know it. Even now, some 2,500 years later, that run stands enduringly as one of greatest physical accomplishments in the history of mankind. Karnazes personally honors Pheidippides and his own Greek heritage by recreating this ancient journey in modern times. Karnazes even abstains from contemporary endurance nutrition like sports drinks and energy gels and only eats what was available in 490 BCE, such as figs, olives, and cured meats. Through vivid details and internal dialogs, The Road to Sparta offers a rare glimpse into the mindset and motivation of an extreme athlete during his most difficult and personal challenge to date.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C283765</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C283765</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karnazes, Dean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/283765108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Reliving the Ancient Battle and Epic Run That Inspired the World&apos;s Greatest Footrace</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781609614744/MC.GIF&amp;client=oakvillepublibrarybc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Road to Sparta]]></title><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C290719</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C290719</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karnazes, Dean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/290719108</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Reliving the Ancient Battle and Epic Run That Inspired the World&apos;s Greatest Footrace</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item></channel></rss>
