Ray Zahab has run thousands of miles over Nike Free 5.0 Mujer deserts: the Gobi, Sahara, Atacama, Antarctica and plenty more. Alongside Kevin Vallely, he has also run across the biggest lake in the world, Lake Baikal in Siberia.
Now, I know you’re thinking: “Hold on, can he run on water? What’s going on there?” Well, in the winter months, Lake Baikal completely freezes, solid enough for people to ski, bike, drive and run across. So, in 2010, Zahab and Vallely decided to run the 600km (373 mile)-length of the lake; it took a little over 13 days.

Zahab is a lover of geography. When he discovered ultrarunning back in 2003, winning the Yukon Arctic Ultra in rather chilly conditions, he found a passion that was to shape his life. Now, one of his main aims is to share that passion with other people. He founded the charity Impossible2Possible (I2P), taking young people from a whole range of backgrounds Nike Air Max 2017 Mujer on life-changing expeditions.

One of the reasons I spoke to Zahab was that his Lake Baikal adventure looked so amazing that I was inspired to run the same trip in February 2018, with Neil Bryant and Majell Backhausen. So, chatting to Zahab seemed like a good place to Nike Internationalist Mujer start.

Even seven years later, breathtaking pictures from that expedition keep popping up on Zahab’s social media. Clear ice that stretches as far as the eye can see, mountains on the horizon. But landscape aside, I wanted to know what we could expect.

The biggest difficulty Zahab warned of was the zigzagging lines that must be taken in search of good ground – with deep snow the least favourable and black ice exactly what they wanted. In all, they covered more than 720km to reach their Adidas Zx 750 Damen goal – and making their feat even more amazing.

Second, the wind was inconsistent, coming from all directions, but would flip 100lb sleds at least once a day. After running 300km into a headwind and rain while running across Iceland, this sounds almost pleasant to me, but then I thought about the interruption of your rhythm, which is so vital for an ultrarunner to maintain, and how having to deal with the unknown makes things a lot harder in general.
