But what is he running from?

The February issue of Runners World features a profile of ultra-distance runner Dean Karnazes. Karnazes is attempting to run 300 miles non-stop. He made his first attempt two years ago during and after the 199-mile Relay from Calistoga to Santa Cruz, California, which he ran alone, but he stopped at mile 225 after realizing he was sleep-running in the center of a two-lane highway.

In October 2004, he reached 262 miles, although he stopped for a 15-minute nap at mile 235. So it doesn't count.
