[...] Based on total traffic throughout the year, my most popular topic that I wrote about is Dean Karnazes and his announcement to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. His announcement back in April and the coverage this Autumn as he ran it drove quite a bit of traffic through the site, as did Sam Thompson’s 50 marathon feat which finished up as Dean was starting.

His race times have varied mostly between 3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 and a half hours. He came down with a cold fairly early into his schedule, but has managed to run through despite it. [...]

[...] This year’s racing highlights is looking like the Vermont City Marathon in a month, the Beach to Beacon 10k a week before my wedding, the New York City Marathon in November, and possibly a random marathon distance run 2� weeks before the New York City Marathon depending upon the response from Dean Karnazes. Throw in a half dozen 5 kilometer and 5 mile races and a few USATF-NE grand prix races, and it is going to be a busy racing season. [...]

Check out Sam Thompson, an amateur running on a similar schedule already and for an excellent cause. I hope he gets more press than Karnazes.

[...] I am running the New York City marathon in early November, and will plan on pacing a friend of mine into a 3 hour first attempt. The training to get me there centered around running a marathon two and a half weeks earlier than that as well, with Dean Karnazes as he does his 50 Marathons in 50 States in 50 Days promotion. He will be running the Maine Marathon course on October 17th. [...]

He has run a lot of crazy stunts before. Running a marathon on 50 consecutive days is just the latest one.

Dean did that in Boston as well. ran 26.2 to the start (3:45) then cruised back in 3:40, he said his legs were heavy from a 120 miler the previous weekend (he ran 120 of the 199 miles at The Relay)

Hey. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Karnazes is going to be in my neck of the woods this weekend, running the Big Sur Marathon. Rumor has it he’ll run down the coast at 3:00 AM to reach the start line at 6:45 to turn around and do the “real” marathon.

I have not met him yet, but I would like to. I have no doubts that he will be doing a 60 mile warm up before the race; he is known for doing kooky things like that.

Hopefully he won’t mind a little company when he does his Maine run; I’m thinking more and more that maybe a 26 miler a few weeks before the actual race won’t be so bad after all. Assuming I can take half the day off from work, anyway, as it will fall on a Tuesday.

Dean K’s coming to my city on June 4, and supposedly doing something like a 60-mile warmup (thought that could just be marketing hype). I met him last year and was struck by what an ordinary guy he seems to be, though anyone that can do that kind of mileage and have never incurred an injury ain’t ordinary.

And thanks for giving me an excuse to dust off my copy of “This Running Life.” I used to religously read Sheehan just before a race and it always had a positive effect on my performance.
