Ultramarathon Man, Dean Karnazes, has completed his 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states. Although he is not the first to do it, he is the first to do it with so much media hype and corporate sponsorship. Dean had companies such as The North Face, Timex, Runners World and Toyota backing him. One thing I found interesting about his run was the Timex Stats Tracker which tracked his distance, altitude, calories burned and heart rate. He burned over 143,530 (kcal), ran for over 7 days and ran 58,362 feet uphill. Check out the Endurance 50 site and Dean’s blog for full details.
