    <![CDATA[In the Fall of 2006, Dean Karnazes, known as the &quot;Lance Armstrong of the running world,&quot; took on the ultimate challenge: running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days. Dean set off in a caravan packed with fellow runners, with nothing more than a roadmap and a determination that defied all physical limitations. 50/50 goes beyond the incredible story of these 50 marathons. It is a firsthand account of what happens when your body defies all limitations, and it is a fascinating story of what it's like to push the limits of strength under grueling conditions.This book is also packed with Dean's secrets and training tips that runners everywhere will want to know. These include what to do when you hit a wall, how to adapt quickly to drastic terrain, how to get motivated after a really tough day, and the best diet and exercise tips to improve your own best time. Complete with Dean's practical tips on building endurance, this book will appeal to marathon runners and athletes everywhere.&quot;(He) makes the extraordinary look easy.&quot; --GQ&quot;The indefatigable man.&quot; --Esquire&quot;One of the sexiest men in sports.&quot; --Sports Illustrated Women]]>

I haven't finished this book yet but it has inspired me to get back on the running &quot;wagon&quot; and run another marathon next year.

A third of it WAS a book about running 50 marathons in 50 days and the many interesting people he met and places he saw along the way.

    <![CDATA[In the Fall of 2006, Dean Karnazes, known as the &quot;Lance Armstrong of the running world,&quot; took on the ultimate challenge: running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days. Dean set off in a caravan packed with fellow runners, with nothing more than a roadmap and a determination that defied all physical limitations. 50/50 goes beyond the incredible story of these 50 marathons. It is a firsthand account of what happens when your body defies all limitations, and it is a fascinating story of what it's like to push the limits of strength under grueling conditions.This book is also packed with Dean's secrets and training tips that runners everywhere will want to know. These include what to do when you hit a wall, how to adapt quickly to drastic terrain, how to get motivated after a really tough day, and the best diet and exercise tips to improve your own best time. Complete with Dean's practical tips on building endurance, this book will appeal to marathon runners and athletes everywhere.&quot;(He) makes the extraordinary look easy.&quot; --GQ&quot;The indefatigable man.&quot; --Esquire&quot;One of the sexiest men in sports.&quot; --Sports Illustrated Women]]>

    <body><![CDATA[50/50 isn't nearly as good as Karnazes' first book, Ultramarathon Man. There just isn't enough meat to the story, and the writing is really just average - even for a sports memoir. Karnazes tells of his challenge to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days.<br/><br/>Basically each chapter represen...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23360597">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In the Fall of 2006, Dean Karnazes, known as the &quot;Lance Armstrong of the running world,&quot; took on the ultimate challenge: running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days. Dean set off in a caravan packed with fellow runners, with nothing more than a roadmap and a determination that defied all physical limitations. 50/50 goes beyond the incredible story of these 50 marathons. It is a firsthand account of what happens when your body defies all limitations, and it is a fascinating story of what it's like to push the limits of strength under grueling conditions.This book is also packed with Dean's secrets and training tips that runners everywhere will want to know. These include what to do when you hit a wall, how to adapt quickly to drastic terrain, how to get motivated after a really tough day, and the best diet and exercise tips to improve your own best time. Complete with Dean's practical tips on building endurance, this book will appeal to marathon runners and athletes everywhere.&quot;(He) makes the extraordinary look easy.&quot; --GQ&quot;The indefatigable man.&quot; --Esquire&quot;One of the sexiest men in sports.&quot; --Sports Illustrated Women]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this a lot less than &quot;Ultramarathon&quot;.  No doubt an incredibly accomplishment but you get it after just a few chapters so the rest gets a bit mundane.  This would have worked great as an article or pamphlet but the book doesn't seem so necessary]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I found this book an easy read and kind of fun. This guy is a fanatic, but also makes running seem doable. I mean he ran 50 marathons in 50 days and then ran another 1,310 miles half way home -insane. My brother loaned me the book &amp; I'm glad.]]></body>
