24th MDS - Training advice

Physical preparation for the MARATHON DES SABLES, long distance free style race, should start at least six months before the event.
Each participant should adapt his/her training program to his or her goal: finish among the first or simply finish the race.
Follow a progressive training: for the long distance runner, weekly runs should average one hundred to 125 miles. For more modest objectives, the goal should be 30 or 50 miles weekly. Increase your mileage progressively.
We advise you to train with a backpack from time to time, with a backpack weighing 3 - 10 kg, also increasing the weight gradually, so that you get adjusted to running while bearing weight. Drink during your training, it is a must ! Do not wait until you’re in the middle of the desert to get used to drinking, you must drink what you need when you need it.
Do not forget that training is the best way to improve your chances and your endurance. Long runs allow you to test energy foods and drinks.
If you have never run or if you are not used to training at least three times a week for several months, it would not be reasonable to consider entering the MARATHON DES SABLES.
So put your running shoes on, and good luck!
