You will see Dean as never before, and you will be captivated and drawn into this adventure right alongside him., As someone who one day intends to complete the Western States 100, A Runner's High both excited and terrified me. As always, Dean shares an enthralling story that you just cannot stop reading. I loved the vulnerability Dean exposes in his journey to show the reader that despite all the superhuman feats, he is human like the rest of us. His words have the ability to leave us wondering, what am I capable of? If you love stories about the power of the human spirit, this book is a classic., "Dean Karnazes' writing wakes up the appetite to run long distances. In this book, Dean takes us on a lifelong journey of ultramarathons, through the ups and downs, the friendships and lonely moments, and the struggles and rewards of each race. Dean writes in a direct and intimate way that keeps us reading like he runs -- without stopping." -- Kilian Jornet, author of Above The Clouds and World Champion Ultramarathoner "Those of us who devoured Ultramarathon Man are in for a treat.

Dean has lived many lifetimes during his storied career and he takes us on that journey with all the detail, honesty and introspection of a man that's lived in those shoes.

Dean Karnazes in The Runner's High shows us the deep love and respect for what the sport has given him--and what he has given in return to this sport is immense--a sincere demonstration of diplomacy, tenacity, grit, and the appreciation of discovery in all stages of our running lives." -- Mirna Valerio, runner, speaker, and author of A Beautiful Work in Progress "I always thought that there was no stronger or more profound feeling of a runner's high than when finishing a race, a marathon or an ultra-marathon. That is, until I read A Runner's High, because it captures that exact same emotional state when you read this amazing story. Dean's accomplishments, his stories, his tenacity, his advice and his wisdom shine through in A Runner's High and will inspire the reader to believe that anything is possible if you believe in yourself, have the courage, and run with your heart." -- Dave McGillivray, Race Director Boston Marathon, Ironman and Trans-America runner "As someone who one day intends to complete the Western States 100, A Runner's High both excited and terrified me.

Synopsis
The iconic superhuman endurance runner shares the hard-won wisdom and lessons he's learned from thirty years of competition as he embarks on his toughest challenge yet-the Western States 100-offering insights into why running is so challenging and rewarding.For most people, running a marathon is a milestone achievement. For Dean Karnazes, it's part of his morning routine. An endurance athlete who has pushed himself to inconceivable limits, Dean regularly runs twenty-six miles before breakfast. An ultramarathon veteran, he is among a cadre of extreme athletes who push the envelope, traversing distances of 50, 100, or more miles in some of the most challenging places on earth. Dean has run through broiling days in Death Valley, across the frozen tundra of the South Pole, and scaled some of the most beautiful mountain terrain in America to pursue his passion. In A Runner's High, Dean contemplates his long-distance career as he prepares for the most difficult competition of his life: running the Western States 100 again at the age of 55, the 100-mile race that served as the backdrop for his classic memoir Ultramarathon Man-and the race he failed to finish in a previous attempt in 2009. Mile by excruciating mile we accompany Dean as he trains not only his body but his mind for the grueling competition ahead. With each exhausting footfall, Dean ponders serious questions about life, pain, endurance, transcendence, and his own limitations. In contemplating the sport that has dominated his existence and the nature of life itself, Dean searches to answer to the most important question of all: what was it all for, " A Runner's High wakes up the appetite to run long distances. Dean takes us on a lifelong journey of ultramarathons, through the ups and downs, the friendships and lonely moments, and the struggles and rewards of each race. Dean writes in a direct and intimate way that keeps us reading like he runs--without stopping."--Kilian Jornet, author of Above the Clouds and world champion ultramarathoner "A Runner's High is a powerful narrative on life, running and finding meaning through perseverance. Every runner should read this book."-- Jason Koop, Coach and bestselling author New York Times bestselling author and ultramarathoning legend Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits, from running in the shoe melting heat of Death Valley to the lung freezing cold of the South Pole. He's raced and competed across the globe and once ran 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. In A Runner's High , Karnazes chronicles his extraordinary adventures leading up to his return to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in his mid-fifties after first completing the race decades ago. The Western States, infamous for its rugged terrain and extreme temperatures, becomes the most demanding competition of Karnazes's life, a physical and emotional reckoning and a battle to stay true to one's purpose. Confronting his age, his career path, and his life choices, we see Karnazes as we never have before. 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 an endorphin-fueled adventure and a love letter to the sport from one of its most celebrated ambassadors that will leave both casual and serious runners cheering., "A Runner's High wakes up the appetite to run long distances.
