Heart-pounding adventure stories from a world-renowned superathlete who charts the frontiers of human endurance.

'Running with Karnazes is like setting up one's easel next to Monet or Picasso.' - The New York Times

In his follow-up to the bestselling Ultramarathon Man, Dean Karnazes is back with more awe-inspiring tales of how he pushes his mind and body to limits which are inconceivable to most of us.

In Run! Dean shares the pleasure -- and considerable pain -- of some of his most memorable adventures, including: * a gentle 350-mile canter through the surprisingly hilly Australian Outback

* his annual attempts at the Badwater Ultramarathon in Death Valley, California (typical temperature: 45 degrees) * the notorious 4 Deserts races, a masochist's delight encompassing four separate 155-mile runs across the Atacama, the Gobi, the Sahara and Antarctica...with rationed water.

Dean's entertaining and endearing stories are sure to inspire and invigorate both dedicated and vicarious runners alike.
