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.
