American ultramarathon runner Dean Karnazes is one of the world's greatest athletes. Pushing himself to the limits of endurance, Dean's achievements beggar belief: how does 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days sound?
Dean's diet plays a vital role in his sporting prowess - but it's not all energy bars and health drinks. You'll find his love of family get-togethers and his Greek heritage informs his dinner party menu.
By his own account, Dean doesn't do dessert, so his dinner party comprises a starter and two courses.
If you fancy finishing with something sweet - though Dean might not approve - try these recipes from 4Food.
