Episode 26: Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon Man, becomes a RUNEGADE.

Have you heard of ⁠⁠Ketone-IQ⁠⁠?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. Compared to other sources of energy like glucose or fat, ketones are a more efficient fuel that can produce more power while using less oxygen.

Trusted by top performing athletes, here are a few science-backed benefits that you can unlock while fueling with ketones:

"Motion stirs emotion" - Dean Karnazes

Imagine, for a moment, you're with your friends, celebrating your 30th birthday. When suddenly you get an unexplained urge to head out for a run. You haven't run in years. But, you put down your pint, say goodbye to your mates and head out for a 30 mile run. And by doing so you find the courage to change everything, become everything you knew you could be.

Enter Dean Karnazes, a New York Times best-selling author, an ultramarathoner. Dean has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits.

Among his many accomplishments, he has run 50 marathons, in all 50 US states, in 50 consecutive days. He's run across the United States, multiple times. He’s run across Death Valley in the middle of summer, and he’s run a marathon to the South Pole.

On ten separate occasions he’s run a 200-mile relay race solo, racing alongside teams of twelve. His list of competitive achievements include winning the World’s Toughest Footrace, the Badwater Ultramarathon, and winning the 4 Deserts Challenge, racing in the hottest, driest, windiest and coldest places on earth.

In this episode of the RUNEGADE Podcast, we engage in a deep conversation with Dean Karnazes, as we explore Dean's journey from corporate life to becoming a renowned endurance runner, discussing the mental and physical aspects of running, the inspiration behind his journey, and the impact of figures like Terry Fox. Throughout, Dean shares the joy running brings him, and how after finding running, he's been able to accomplish unbelievable feats, with more to come.

We thank Dean for joining us and becoming a friend of The RUNEGADE Podcast.

Episode 25: The Year of the RUNEGADE | Season One Wrap

We launched The RUNEGADE Podcast, in December of 2023, with the goal of better understanding this thing we have with running and endurance sport.

Have you heard of ⁠Ketone-IQ⁠?⁠⁠⁠

Ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. They are often created when your stored carbs are depleted, triggering your body to convert fat into ketones for fuel. Unlike fats, ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing ketones to fuel both the brain and the body. Compared to other sources of energy like glucose or fat, ketones are a more efficient fuel that can produce more power while using less oxygen.

On episode 23: Dr. Phil Maffetone becomes a RUNEGADE

Dr. Phil Maffetone is a respected pioneer in the field of complementary medicine. Internationally recognized researcher, educator, clinician and author in the field of nutrition, exercise, sport medicine and biofeedback. He's also a songwriter, musician and comedian - he's a shining example of well roundedness.

Dr. Maffetone is known for creating the Maffetone Method (MAF), which emphasizes low-intensity aerobic training, fat adaptation, and personalized nutrition. MAF is based on Dr. Phil's clinical research that yielded the optimal heart rate for one to train at or below.

Come and learn about the MAF Formula = 180 - Age + (Adjustments) and how this yields the optimal heart rate to train at or below for healthy, steady progress over the long term.

Author of over 20 books, including The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing, Dr. Maffetone has helped athletes, from beginners to world champions, optimize performance while preventing injuries and overtraining.

The conversation explores the intersection of running, brain health, and music, emphasizing the importance of a healthy mind for optimal performance. Dr. Maffetone discusses his approach to training, the impact of stress, and the role of music in enhancing brain function.

We thank Dr. Maffetone for becoming a RUNEGADE and you can find more here:

On episode 21, Tara Dower becomes a RUNEGADE.

"You really don't know what you can do unless you try" - Tara Dower

On September 21, 2024 Tara Dower became the fastest person in history to complete the 2,189-mile Appalachian Trail, a 14 state journey, she bested the Fastest Known Time by 13 hours - she's an Altra Running athlete, an ultramarathoner, a candy connoisseur and a new friend of the podcast.

Tara's biography:

"An Appalachian Trail thru-hike inspired me to spend as much time on trails as possible; now, I am a professional ultramarathon trail athlete racing all over the country. My favorite ultramarathon distance is the 100-miler because there are so many possibilities for adventure, but I also love the competitive aspect of setting FKTs on longer trail routes. The FKTs I’ve set include the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (1,175 miles), Benton MacKaye Trail (289 miles), the Colorado Trail (486 miles) and now the Appalachian Trail (2,189 miles)"

We followed Tara's journey on Instagram throughout August and September, virtually cheering her on as she stacked 17 hour days, upon days. Like all great trail runners, Tara, surrounded by a great crew - her mom, her friends, trail running mentors and buds (all with great trail nicknames) accomplished an amazing feet of endurance.

Come listen to Tara's journey's from her first Appalachian thru hike attempt, to 100-mile races, to Hardrock and now the FKT record holder - you'll learn all the details of her epic adventure.

More Tara:

We thank Tara for sharing her amazing journey.

And if you have the means, consider support those affected from Hurricane Helen, as she wrecked havoc to many folks along the Appalachian Trail by purchasing a "Tara in Southern Appalachia" print block and 50% of the proceeds will be sent to BeLoved Asheville
