About this listen

 Venture into the scorching sands of the Sahara Desert and the world's most brutal heat-based endurance challenges. Explore the Marathon des Sables, where runners cover 156 miles over six days while carrying everything they need to survive, and discover how the human body adapts to temperatures exceeding 120°F. Learn about the critical science of hydration management, the gear innovations that prevent heat stroke, and the mental strategies that keep runners moving when mirages fool the mind. Meet champions like Rachid El Morabity and Elisabet Barnes who've mastered the art of negotiating with the desert itself, proving that humans can thrive in Earth's most hostile environments.
