Can't believe it's been two years since I picked up one of these. I can still remember very clearly the fear in the final few weeks as training drew to a close, the vacuum sealer came out, kit was weighed and calories counted. What makes the Marathon des Sables so different from other events is that most people are stepping completely into the unknown. I know I was. But that’s also the magic. Whatever happens in the Sahara sand you’re in for one of the best weeks of your life. If you're heading out this year or thinking 'Could I do that?' head to manvmiles.co.uk where I've shared a few things I learned on my own Marathon des Sables journey. #mds2017 #marathondessables #ultrarunners
