Ep. 692: Running Across the Sahara Desert - Ray Zahab

Ep. 692: Running Across the Sahara Desert - Ray Zahab

Ultramarathon: Follow one man's remarkable transformation from a two-pack-a-day smoker to a 100-mile ultramarathon winner who ran across the Sahara Desert.

Soon after turning 30, Ray, a self-described “two pack a day smoker”, was tired of the direction his life was heading. His younger brother, who was pursuing a healthier lifestyle, was his inspiration to make a change.

Ray quickly set his eyes to try to complete a 100-mile ultramarathon. He won.

Within the next few years he put his life on a trajectory of adventures and purpose, combining feats as large as running across the Sahara Desert and taking scores of young adults on adventures through founding impossible2possible.com, an organization that aims to inspire and educate youth through adventure learning, inclusion, and participation in expeditions.
