Runversation: About the super runner who can keep going
Deccan Chronicle“The dog days are over, The dog days are done The horses are coming, So you better run Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive.” Those lines are from the lyrics of a song by Florence+Machine.

Dean Karnazes, an American ultramarathon runner, a world-famous endurance athlete and best-selling author was a good runner during his early school days and he exhibited almost superhuman endurance levels. Running has become the game changer for those who have struggled with physical or mental illness, low self-esteem, massive personal loss, anger issues, regret and other pains.
