Video – Dean Karnazes Interview

Ultrarunner Dean Karnazes: they say he’s not human. Outer Edge wanted to find out so figured we’d meet him in the flesh. But to do that, it had to be on his terms. While running The North Face 100, one of Australia’s top notch ultra events in the Blue Mountains, NSW. Deputy Editor Chris Ord decided to catch him mid race (or try to catch him, at least). He expected a short stretch alongside Dean, giving a little insight into what makes the most famous ultra runner tick over millions of kilometres. What he copped was a 46km conversation. This interview was the morning after. There’s a reason Chris is sitting down…shall we say, a little gingerly. Research really should have included a little training, Chris.
