NOW recovered from our latest Marathon des Sables training weekend - a three-day combination of night and day runs, kit testing, seminars and slide shows.

Once again we had a real mix of people from all over the UK - and judging from the feedback we've had so far, they went home with plenty of valuable information and knowledge as MdS 2012 gets ever closer!

Thanks to our expert speakers - adventure race medic Dr Emma Dawber and sports psychologist (and very handy racer!) Dr Toni Minitti - and, of course, to our suppliers at Dr Hauschka, Injinji, Buff, X-Bionic clothing, Mountain King, Patagonia, Buzz Bars and X-Socks for some great kit samples for runners to try, test... and eat!

There's some more photos from the weekend on our Facebook page here as well as some comments from our MdS campers!
