MDS 2010 Training log. Training for the Marathon Des Sables 2010. I finally finished, to my great relief, in 6 hrs 23 mins. I was 80th out of about 120 starters many of whom dropped out at the half-way point. I'm planning to have another attempt at the Picnic when it's run again in 2011 - hopefully I'll be able knock a few minutes off my time (maybe even get under 6 hours) and next time I'll be carrying some electrolyt drink with me which should help with the cramp problems. Tapering for the Picnic.

Just a Jog: Best running routes in London

http://www.justajog.com/2012/07/best-running-routes-in-london.html

To run is fun. To blog about the jog is even better. Tuesday, 17 July 2012. Best running routes in London. Recently about my lack of enthusiasm for running in the city of London. However this hasn't always been the case. There are some amazing places to go running in and around London. I got to know London by running in it, and I still believe it's the best way to really understand the size and diversity of our capital. 1) Best for the views (and the hills) (and getting lost) - Hampstead Heath.
