Running a Marathon in Yemen (& BIG 2021 News)
→ Join me for daily adventures on Instagram: evazubeck
Thank you to Z Adventures (www.z-adventures.org) and Welcome to Socotra (www.welcometosocotra.com) for organizing this incredible event. I really look forward to taking part in the next Socotra Marathon, when travel becomes possible again.
I can't believe I got to run this marathon on Socotra Island, Yemen: this is how my 3-month adventure in Socotra began in 2020. Make sure you watch this video until the end to find out what EVEN BIGGER endurance event I'll be attempting in 2021 😍 Adventure and endurance travel is going to be my next chapter on here!
And a huge thank you to Mike @fearlessandfar for being the best drone pilot and co-runner when things got tough ❤️

I completely failed to understand what was the point of this marathon in Yemen?? Perhaps they could arrange it in a city so Yemeni civilians couldn't be bombed for a day at least?? What about thousands of starving children in Yemen?? Ohh right, running pointlessly in middle of nowhere was more important than them...

@@akhilak208 I really wonder what social/psychological impact you are talking about and for who?? Not for Yemeni people for sure due they won't be able to see it while getting bombed EVERY DAY!!

If you are talking about other people why conducting a marathon in Yemen then?? Why not Oman or any other country where innocent people aren't getting killed every day and inspire people without also wickedly ignoring people's suffering?? Or perhaps according to you running in a war-torn country adds some kind of ridiculous ''meaning'' to the marathon??? This is morally corrupt and UNACCEPTABLE in every way regardless how insanely you are optimistic!! And im not a negative thinker rather a realistic person who sees the world as it is which is full of suffering and ridiculous people ignoring it while ''having fun''!!

Urgent, news is by the end of June fifty percent of population may be dead from starvation, etc. Could you hold a fundraiser with your family, friends etc..

Running a marathon in a landscape that dramatic and isolated looks like an absolute dream
Dear Eva zu back, I definitely loves to watch your training videos before that "ULTRA MARATHON”. because it motivates me to start running on regular basis. Thanking you.♥️
You know what inspire me. It is her freedom. It fills up my heart with a freedom feeling you have no idea. I will get there.
Yes i want to see how you train and see how the world belongs to the brave.

@@ggoddkkiller1342 In a war torn Yemen; plagued by hunger, malnutrition, dying babies.. & State in tatters, u think it's conducive to conduct a marathon ? Also, she's not in charge of conducting marathons. Is she ? The spirit of a marathon itself.. it's something else. I'm just baffled by your questioning such a great idea - a marathon in Socotra. Can't u not see the social/psychological impact it can create in people's minds, esp given the current situation in Yemen. Is it not calling for positive attention, hope & peace ? Also, Eva is an individual, a Travel Vlogger -> Not a corporate/institution/govt or a politician/social activist.. hope u know that. She quit her job to follow her passion.. she chooses places that are not the usual tourist spots; many of them "risky"/"rough" locations. Thus her vlogs do help create awareness about such mostly unexplored places. Not everyone knows what's happening around the world or deep into the many diverse cultures across the planet. Her vlogs in that sense alone, is more impactful than others. Her work changes perception about Pakistan, Syria, the deserts of Oman, the village in Saudi or Romania.. they touch different lives n cultures. The Socotra island is a unique place on earth, just for it's landscape. And it's part of Yemen. Isn't that giving a "fresh" perspective about Yemen.. ? Esp for the wide majority of common people, the utube audience.. ? Please be critical constructively. I don't if it's me.. but can't even count ur comment as "nit-picking". Please don't be so negative.🙏🙄

Take care of your heart! You might not believe it, but this trend of running long distances is not good for your heart :( I heard (and forgot) about this in Med School, but recently I listened to this warning in a class made by Dr. Brugada (a cardiologist who has a syndrome with his last name, and an world eminence in his field) and he said that running long distances increases 5-8 times the risk of having atrial fibrillation (a type of arrythmia). So...ultra marathon looks like a cool thing, but it isn´t the best for health.

I highly disagree with this comment. I follow marathon athletes and many make it into very late age while still running marathons. It has to be a lifestyle and its something you have to train for. The problem with modern society is that we have become so lazy and eat so much garbage that any exercise feels like it could trigger a heart attack.
Sure! Please share the journey! You are great at doing it and showing such a things like for your bike vlog. Also it is very inspiring
