Countdown to MdS 2009. An attempt to report my progress for the next year ending with completion of the 2009 edition of the Marathon des Sable. Saturday, 23 August 2008. Since last posting almost 1 month ago, i did another couple of bike rides before Elaine, Ross, Kirsty and myself headed off to Bournemouth for a few days. My intention was to attempt a couple of runs on the beach but ended up not bothering. We did a fair amount of walking and i definitely benefitted from the relative rest. Thursday - 6 m...

Time to catch up(abridged version).

Swiss News: My Training for the 2009 MdS - 8
http://news-from-chur.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-training-for-2009-mds-8.html
Friday, 9 May 2008. My Training for the 2009 MdS - 8. Thursday's run was a recovery run, which I really did try to run at a slow pace. However, this is not something I am very good at - slow running - and explains the injuries I have had to date. Nevertheless, I did manage to stick to a pace of 5:24, and covered 8 km. I'm very much looking forward to the. Grand Prix de Berne. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Craig, finishing a half-marathon. The Maratona Ticino November 2007. Injury - yet again! I've ...

Marathon des Sables 2009: April 2009

Marathon des Sables 2009. RACHAEL'S JOURNEY TO THE DESERT. Thursday, 9 April 2009. And finally.last things and Tent 70. I suppose you'll hear differing opinions on the Mds. most people will agree that it's not the Toughest Footrace on the Planet anymore, and it's not. But it's by no means easy. And I'm sure there are people who have done the race previously, or people who are doing it in the future who will think that we got off lightly, didn't do the full race, a bit of a cop out? Mds 2009 - Marathon day.

It's still officially winter in Europe, but on Sunday, spring-like temperatures were forecast, with a maximum in Chur of 20°C expected.

Marathon des Sables 2009. RACHAEL'S JOURNEY TO THE DESERT. Thursday, 9 April 2009. Mds 2009 Day 1. So there we were in a hotel, instead of the bivouac. We went to have breakfast and to see if we could find out what was going on. It was still raining! The market traders must have thought all their Christmases had come at once. There were plenty of AOI representatives/staff buying plastic too! We bought enough between us to kit out two tents and decided that it was worth the extra weight! We carried on wan...

Paths, muddy fields, hills and very steep banking covered in brambles and small trees - the only way up was using hands and knees! The next day was also beautiful, clear a...
