The Ultra Dean Strikes Again

Ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes now plans to run 300 miles nonstop, reports TIME magazine.

"The Karnazes megamarathon will require staying up for more than three days, not to mention the possibility of sleep running and hallucinating. 'My curiosity is how far this human system can go,' says Karnazes. 'What is it really capable of?' ... Karnazes pursues a vampire-like training schedule, rising at 2 a.m. for 50-mile runs and then putting in a full day at his natural-food business."
