I Ran 200km for 21 Hours Non-Stop, My Secret Story with Sheikh Hamdan & Why I only drive Porsche

Imagine running 200KM across the UAE in just 21 hours. In this gripping episode of the For This Reason podcast, we sit down with Nico de Corato—an ultra-endurance athlete, engineer, and the founder of the Dubai Blog Network who operates at the extreme edge of human possibility. Nico opens up about the brutal reality of elite performance: from the shocking moment he began losing his hair and nails during a 140km desert run, to the mental "switch" required to run 200km non-stop just a year later. Discover the deeply personal story behind his connection with HH Sheikh Hamdan (Fazza), why he chose to name his son Hamdan in his honor, and why he views the Porsche Cayenne as the "mechanical mirror" of his own life. Whether you're looking for world-class discipline, a look into the Dubai luxury lifestyle, or the motivation to overcome personal loss and physical injury, Nico’s journey is a masterclass in resilience. In this episode, we cover: The secret to running 200km in 21 hours (and beating his 140km record). His life-changing encounter with Sheikh Hamdan at the Gov Games. Why he transitioned from Aston Martin to the "Porsche Family." The emotional story of running the day after his mother passed away. How to "switch off" your mind to achieve the impossible. 🌍 Support the Cause: We are proud to partner with the Mpho Foundation to help take young people to school in South Africa.
