Ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes has achieved extraordinary feats of endurance, pushing his physical and mental limits in environments ranging from the extreme heat of Death Valley to the sub-zero temperatures of the South Pole. His accomplishments include races and competitions across the globe, and a remarkable 50 marathons in 50 states on 50 consecutive days.

In "A Runner's High," Karnazes recounts his return to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, decades after his initial participation. This race, renowned for its challenging terrain and severe temperatures, becomes a profound test of his endurance, resilience, and commitment to his personal goals. The narrative provides an introspective examination of Karnazes's confrontation with age, physical challenges, career trajectory, and life choices, offering readers an unvarnished and revealing perspective. "A Runner's High" is both a compelling narrative of athletic adventure and a tribute to the sport from one of its most prominent figures.
