How extreme can it get?...

Uri Kirshenboim is one of the major reasons I was infected by the running fever. Less than a year ago he literally made me do my first race, the first Tzeala race that he initiated “a friendly 5km run”, next came a 10km race and from there it was no way back. This Sunday Uri completed the Comrades ultra marathon! 87 km through 5 major mountains in South Africa – unbelievable!!! eighty-seven-kilometers…

There are many extreme endurance races out there. From the Antarctica Marathon at -30F, The Great Wall Marathon, The Comrades, The Western States 100 mile race and more. There is also one race that is known as “The World’s toughest footrace” – the Badwater ultra marathon – 130 miles of desert and mountains at 130F. Runners are instructed to stay on the white line of the roads to reduce the pace of their shoe soles meltdown…

One of the men that did a Badwater is Dean Karnazez. Dean is also famous for doing 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days in all 50 states finishing with the NYC Marathon which he completed in 3 hours!...
