Nobody can dispute the endurance Dean possesses, nor his determination and desire to give back. As an ultrarunner my admiration for him is large. The book however, was a placid affair, reciting from his journal the experience of running the 50 marathons in 50 days. The writing was elementary and not particularly engaging, the tips presented in the book are neither new, or earth-shattering, and maybe because of my experience I found nothing that would change my running. Kudos to Dean for the achievement, but lacked the engaging quality of Ultramarathon Man.
this is very motavational for a runner! I love the book.

Likely you saw Dean Karnazes on the news promoting his 50 marathons in 50 days. I remember watching him thinking “is this guy crazy?” For the majority of us, completing even one marathon would be a lifelong goal achieved. Here this guy is looking to do not one or two runs in a season but 50 without even a day of rest. Like many people, I wondered why this person would even trey such a feat. In fact, was it even possible? So when I got a chance to review 50/50, I jumped at the chance. By some standards, Dean Karnazes is a little abnormal. I say so, mostly because of his ability to endure 50 days of traveling, running a marathon, being interviewed, and then traveling again before getting only a few hours sleep. Just keeping the body going at that pace would be difficult enough. Add in some jet lag, a cold, and a scary fall. It’s pretty amazing. What I liked most about this story is that this man seemed like a real person. He’s definitely more athletic and driven than most people but all of us have the ability to make better choices and push ourselves just a bit more than we thought possible. Absolutely inspiring.Read full review
