A Moveable Feast

In the sport of ultramarathioning, racers sometimes run a hundred miles or more at a stretch. The sport’s king is Dean Karnazes, an unlikely athlete who hadn’t done any running until he dead-end life left him feeling so frustrated that he just stripped down to his underwear and ran out into the night. He hasn’t slowed down since, and now he can run more than 200 miles without stopping. On his training runs, he uses his cell phone to order pizza and cheesecake that are delivered ((and consumed) while he’s running. The lesson Dean offers monthlong novelists is clear: You can maintain focus and speed while wolfing down an oversized dessert item. Get on that cell phone, writer. Your cheesecake is long overdue.
