EP-197 DESERT RESILIENCE: Running the Sahara and Beyond with Ray Zahab

The 10Adventures Podcast

In this episode of The 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Ray Zahab, a world-renowned ultrarunner and explorer, to talk about resilience, transformation, and pushing beyond perceived limits. Ray shares how he went from an uninspired lifestyle to conquering some of the world’s most extreme environments, running over 17,000 kilometers across deserts and completing unsupported expeditions to the coldest places on Earth.

We dive into Ray’s journey of self-discovery, his transformative first ultramarathon, and his monumental 7,500-kilometer Sahara Desert crossing, completed in a little over 100 days. Ray discusses the mental and physical challenges of endurance expeditions and how he thrives in environments where most wouldn’t dare to venture.
