Can I Finish a Half Marathon in World’s Hottest Place? 

Zach only has two modes: not running at all and Running in Death Valley.

Great job, this just shows how crazy Badwater 135 is

To answer your earlier question. Those sand dunes are there because that area has the three things you need for sand dunes. 1. A consistent supply of sand. 2. A consistent supply of wind. 3. A place for the sand to stop. On a side note, those particular sand dunes are on Tatooine. By that I mean A New Hope was filmed there and R2d2 and C3po landed there.

When we asked you to do running content we didn’t mean torture.

I kept on thinking “Ahhh, it can’t be that hard.” and then I’d remember Zach is a much more talented runner than I am.

The dookie he took after that must’ve felt amazing. Long runs be having the best post run dumps

I’d be happy to finish a half marathon anywhere. Let alone the hottest place in the world

It’s usually 95-105 here in grand junction and let me tell ya. Nothing is more miserable than a 3200 or 5k when it’s 105 degrees🥲🤝

Zach is back... great video!!

No matter how little he runs his form is still impeccable

ran 6 miles in 100 degree weather yesterday, cannot imagine doing that TWICE in one go PLUS another mile, kudos to you!!!

Love the running content, keep up the good work.

Drew’s Motivational Serenade was the high point of the video. 😉

Impressive run !! (even if it was actually “only” 107F at 6pm on August 23rd in Death Valley

Respect. Running in 100 degree temps is already AIDs enough

wish I could listen to his heartbeat after that run

Yeah smartest decision ever, I’m actually working on a running a 100 mile race in Death Valley.

The fact the Badwater 135 is 10x longer 😭 and they start in the morning and go through the entire day, then night, then next day, then climb up part of a fricken mountain

nike really has a knack for making loud slappy shoes lmaooo

Running a HM in Death Valley deserves a like and comment!

What sneakers are you wearing? What happened to Hoka? I like this video because you're showing me a place I've never been to. Fun to watch you run. How'd the van hold up?

Nice pegs. What happened to the hokas?

Awesome video thanks for listening to us

That was amazing.... 😳😳& your hair still looked great after it... 😅😅😅👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻x

Yeah have fun with that

Don’t hold still too long, I know people who’ve run it and they always commented about people’s shoes melting

Looks cool to run there besides the fact it's hot af

Man the heat is one thing let alone the wind drying up all the sweat

Extremely happy to see a video from zach again! :)

I run in that daily. That’s why I run 8:30/9min miles in the summer time haha

Wait is he not with HOKA anymore?

I love this was so entertaining and yet so motivating at the same time

This mans is just inspirational

this vid is awesome Zack. time to move my ass to run

Congratulations man

Yes, but it's a dry heat!

This is me in Houston 95 degrees with 70 percent humidity makes it feel like 110

Crazy!! Never been to death valley but definitely want to go now!

Do it again but when it’s 135 and in sweats

No humidity tho

Lol the other day at cross country practice it was 101 degrees, but it said it felt like 110. I ran the longest distance of like 3 miles, and didn’t take any water breaks I felt like the world was ending can’t imagine doing this

Today I’m doing my half for my training block and it’s a cool 90.

Are those the Peg 37’s you’re attempting a half marathon in?

Are you done with Hoka now? Because I know you are now training for Chicago with Nike.

are these cowboy bepop ost playing in the background of this video lol

Is he no longer sponsored by hoka? He isn’t wearing their merch and is wearing all Nike

Great video man

heatwave in chicago area had me running a xc race in 107 heat index. 4 more degrees and 10 more miles would have killed me

Insane 🦾

mans barely broke a sweat

I remember doing a 11 mile run in 106 degrees where I live at almost 4000 feet of elevation. It was a rough one for sure, definitely don't recommend it

And without sunglasses

there was only one challenge attempted that was harder than this one

This is awesome dudeeee!!!

It’s turning night and it’s windy it’s not even that hot and it’s not like it’s humid there either 😐

Damn skill 🔥

top tier

No Hoka?

Badwater 135 ?.. 😉👍🏃‍♂️

aaAAh I knew it. Called it on Strava

So no more Hoka?

Next Video: CAN I MAKE A GAMING CHANNEL IN THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH?!?!

This is running in south texas 9 months out of the year

Nike?

Hoka sponsor clearly lasted

People would much rather you just post regular running content

Sure you can but at what pace?

but Hoka :(

Prediction................Pain...

I wander how this feels compared to where u live. I live in Louisiana and when I run at 2pm on a hot track it’s 99 and feels like 120

lets go

He should do this with a mask on and no water breaks/breaks at all

Try mississippi lol

How he not sweating??

Lets gooooo

good luck

try black text in the thumbnail. stands out better against the sky

Isn’t he sponsored by Hoka?

How much do you weigh now?

🙋🏻‍♂️🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

THE WORLDS hottest place ON EARTH.

Well at least he made a running video. Not a good running video but at least he made one. Some days you gotta settle for what you can get.

The real question is why didn't he go shirtless for this if it was 134 degrees.

Lesgo

Are you still with hoka?

Ryan Trahan wannabe

Fake. It's not that hot because he kept his shirt on

Yay I’m early

Fake

Yay first comment

Jesus loves you :)

I was stationed in 29 palms. This guy is crazy lol
