Talk:Dean Karnazes

message: This article seems more like an attack on Dean Karnazes than an encyclopedia article. How can anything to do with ultramarathons be considering "not athletically significant"?
He's also not generally considered controversial, although some people do resent his "marketing style" and believe he is commercializing ultrarunning.
Keep running.

replies: text: Karnazes is controversial, as the revert history of this article demonstrates. It would be good to hash out the differences between the two points of view here and come up with some truly neutral language. Sanguinity 20:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy

message: There's no point in including "run 146 miles across Death Valley in the middle of summer to the top of Mt. Whitney." That's little more than a description of the Badwater Ultra (which he is already listed as having won outright in 2004), and there are enough Badwater participants who have continued to the summit that it's not a distinctive accomplishment.

thread_title: Accomplishments

message: It is troubling that User:Sfdk04 has deleted the prior coverage of Karnazes running and replaced it with what appears to be a cut and paste from another website.  It is also troubling that User:Sfdk04 has only contributed to this article.  Could you please explain what you are trying to achieve and discuss it here?

message: I added this info about U-Top-It. I don't really have a legit source, besides the fact that I am his neighbor and know hom personally.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.229.254 (talk) 03:57, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Run across America 

message: It was my impression that he is some kind of medical phenomenon, as described here
http://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/karnazes-effect
So he basically can run forever. Dont know if other runners can do that too, though.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.201.144.111 (talk) 02:36, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Medical phenomenon? 

message: When reading the section on Karnazes early running career I cannot help but feeling that I am reading a novel or some sort of running Paul Bunyan. 
"By third grade he was participating in and organizing short running events with other children. As Karnazes grew older, he began testing his limits: by age eleven he had hiked rim-to-rim across the Grand Canyon and had climbed Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous United States; for his 12th birthday, he cycled 40 miles (64 km) to his grandparents' home for fun without telling his parents." This information is uncited for one and many parts are not notable. The last sentence in particular reads like an advertisement to go buy a book.
The dialogue between Karnazes and his junior high coach is wholly inappropriate in maintaining objectivity (would be different if the coach was Bill Bowerman, etc.). A "most-improved" trophy means nothing to a man of such running prestige. There are serious problems with this entire article. This section in particular.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ermsam (talk • contribs) 00:07, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

message: In all of the interviews with Karnazes that I watched, he's introduced as [kahr-NASS-iss]. I would have preferred to find an interview in which he introduces himself, but I couldn't readily locate one on the web. Here are source links:
