Where Ray Zahab is running determines what he packs
What Ray Zahab takes with him depends on where in the world he�s running. Last summer, when he ran the 100-kilometre Akshayuk Pass trail on Baffin Island, he carried a hydration pack with military rations, salt tablets, water purification tablets, a lightweight stove, a headlamp, a windshell, a toque and gloves. For three-hour-plus training runs, he cuts the fat, ditching just about everything but the windshell. He loads his hydration pack with Gatorade and some food. �I bring gels or real food,� he says. �I like to bring a bag of boiled potatoes. They�re everything I need.�
