Fingers crossed I’ve got a copy waiting at home for Fathers Day. I dropped enough hints. 😜

Something so liberating about an early morning trail run on the coast path. #lovepembs

Indeed. A bit more Ivy the Terrible than Cuddles & Dimples, as it always is. Super brutal and an amazing challenge. Thanks for your interest.

That is a lot. As I say, changes by new organisation seem to be better placed to keep people in the race, especially during hotter days. Must have been nice to be able to sleep on sleeping bag, we had more extreme changes in temp and constant sand storms to deal with.

Was super low around 60 out of 850 staters, so 7%-ish. Having done it before I would mostly put it down to new organisation and changes they made re. water distribution. Route was pretty tough and it got reasonably hot (not the hottest though).

Was a super well run event - congratulations to all involved!

Brutal but brilliant in equal measure!Hard to put into words how big a test of physical and mental resilience MdS is. – at Ouarzazate, Royaume du Maroc

Wow! Looks like it could be from a NY deli. 😋

With just over a week to go until we fly to Morocco, heat acclimation is in full swing. After surviving my first ever yoga session, held in a bouncy castle heated up to 37c, I am pretty sure I can handle anything the Sahara throws at me. 😅@hotpodyoga @marathonDsables

Always a bit of a debate as to whether a 9hr drive is going to be worth it for just a long weekend. Time to check-out of work and into the hills, and maybe even a sea swim to blow away the cobwebs. 8.2c in there though 🥶.

Thanks for inviting me on. Hopefully the discussion is of some use to firms in a similar position.

Great fun talking to @AbrahamOnMoney about my career so far and @AFPLimited. My first ever podcast - not sure I'll be making a career of it 😅

Great post Alan. Congrats on the race also. Sounds like an awesome event.

Love this. A great thing for our clients to think about.

I thought that it had been KMs for years, even for those of us who would not be considered "younger runners". You don't run a 3.1 mile park run, or a 6.2 mile race? Definitely key to add the decimal places too 😅

Bet you’ll come back having loved it. The toughest moments will be the ones, when you look back on it, that you felt the most alive!

At least once a year 😂. This year is Marathon des Sables for the wife’s 50th. She thought 6 marathons in 7 days across the Sahara self supported would be ace. 5 weeks out…. 😱

Amazing weekend at the @endurancelife Northumbria Ultra. Even after Mrs M left me for dead after 48k with a full body cramp to manage for the last 10k. 😝
