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 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 his life, a physical and emotional reckoning and a battle to stay true to one's purpose. Confronting his age, wearying body, career path and life choices, we see Karnataka as we never have before, raw and exposed. A runner's high is both an endorphin-fuelled page-turner and a love letter to the sport from one of its most celebrated ambassadors. A book that will inspire athletes of all stripes, whatever their aches and pains, to hit the ground running.' Kirkus Reviews
