My first mountain marathon with 2600m of ascent, the thin air of high altitude and bone-breaking terrain. Nothing really prepares you for running in the mountains and I had to learn some hard lessons along the way. As the hours wore on and the end was still far, my fight was against my own desire to give up and sit down, as much as it was with the route and my aching legs.
Wow Alice that’s amazing! Good inspiration to get off the couch…go gal!
Manu – how great to hear from you! It has been a long time since we cycled together. How is everything? And I can NOT imagine you on the couch!
Very inspirational! Visiting Morocco is on my dream list and to go to a running camp there? Bliss!
Ken thank you so much for this comment! Would you like to come on our running camp in February? It is going to be in the desert and a true adventure…..http://www.epicrunning.co.uk/camp/desert-running-camp-2/
