From unfit and overweight through half-marathoner and marathoner to my ultimate challenge - the toughest footrace on earth - 150 miles in 6 days in the Sahara - the 2014 Marathon des Sables.

I hope this blog will be a source of tips for other runners and a source of inspiration for those who want to start running, but need a bit of a push!

Last Long(ish) Run Before Brighton Raceday and Day 1 of MDS 2013

Target of 12 miles in 1:45 today.
Managed my 12 miles in 1:36.  Felt good with no problems.

The 2013 MDS started today.  I see that Mohammed Ahansal has won day one - 37.2Km in 2:50!  That's a 7:22 minute mile average or a 3:15 marathon.  In the desert with dunes!  Click here to follow the race.


Got a lot more work to do!
