He still has 50 miles to go? Man, oh man I don't know if he's going to be able to do it.

Dean K is the top story on the RW website.
That says it all really, doesn't it?! :)
Actually, he is the top story here too hahahaha.....
....and now he's walking!
damn he just reset it to 0
Two words:
Yiannis Kouros.
It wasn't on a treadmill but the dude ran 303.506 km in 24 hours.
How do we take 150 miles in 24 hours seriously in the face of that?
Why is everyone complaining!? He is rasing MONEY for charity, obviously something good, and effecting No one here in a negative manner...Who cares if he is running slow or holding onto the "handle bars" **** you guys!

That little break at 100 miles caused his average pace to drop from 9:34 to 9:40. Again the record pace is 9:21.
Yeah, it took him 12min 13sec to do that quarter mile from 100.0 to 100.25. He was definitely taking a walking break in there for most of that.
i wish that I had someone to mist me on my runs
How far is the girl running? she looks like she is going alot faster than Dean.

Because too many people think he's "America's best runner".

The record books care. If he somehow manages to get the record (REALLY unlikely now), it'll be a scam as you're not allowed to hold on to the bars.
Anyway, here's the RW thread on Dean K. Pretty big difference in attitude, to say the least.
http://forums.runnersworld.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/608106477/m/6731013303Actually he's raising AWARENESS for a charity and pimping Accelerade.
I'm sure if I called all the local papers and newscasts and told them I was running from Louisville to Lexington and back to raise AWARENESS for a charity they'd have a camera on me too. Maybe that is what USATF should do...raise awareness for some charity.

Does Deano use that blue tent for sh}tting?
He is raising money for charity and that's great, but he is also trying to break a record by holding onto to the handle bars, taking many many breaks, getting massages, being misted, and so on. He is America's Best Runner, I guess we are all expecting him to live up to his title. :)
Yiannis is 50 years old and still running a 2:50 marathon...he'd beat Dean!

I heard some guys are running 25 times around a track in Indianapolis tonight to raise awareness of track and field in the United States.

my only problem with the thing is the promotion of Dean K as America's best runner. if they changed it to America's best jogger i would be fine with it.
AMEN. you cant classify him as a "runner", especially americas best, when he cant even crack the top 100 in a regular marathon. 3 hour marathon=not america's best runner.

Big surprise from the most worthless running site ever.
anyone think that he's gonna give up in the next 15 mins
He needs to run a double marathon in 7:37 - that's two 3:48:30's.
At this point I wonder how far he'll actually make it. My guess is another 30 miles tops.
