Duncan’s journey to Marathon Des Sables: Week 1
So this weeks training sessions have gone well, including a 15 mile, 5 hour walk and several 8 mile runs, all done in the great British weather. It was raining Cats and Dogs… I didn’t see any, mind! Will be stepping up the training next week, fingers crossed for dry weather.
Trying out dried foods and protein drinks etc. this week. Some good, some not so good! Really liked the Granola and Raspberries 1000 kcal Extreme Energy range. My problem being, I will be carrying all my clothes, food, sleeping bag and more on my back for the whole 247k… so weight is the key! Not mine! Decided I will need to work on about 3000 kcal per day or more to keep me going!
Wish me luck heading into this week! Will keep you posted on my progress!
