MdS Training Blog: Mental Focus

By James Fricker on in Training

This week, things get tough for Team RW's Marathon des Sables challenger as he hits the Devon trails.

This weekend marked my first attempt at an ultra. I thought I’d chosen wisely - a coastal trail series in Devon sounds idyllic, and I had pictured waves crashing against rock faces as I bounded over 35 miles of beautiful trails in the mild February sun. How wrong (and unprepared) ...

Gear Pick of the Week: ASICS Gel Kayano 18

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

ASICS Gel Kayano 18 (£133) Kerry says: Any shoe that has 18 versions must be doing something right, and such is the case with the Kayano.

So last time we had you all doing the locust. Well here's the thing. It was only partial. This time you’ll be doing the Full Locust – and no, it isn’t a weird dance from the Rocky Horror Show. It involves lifting both your legs AND arms from the ground ...

MdS Training Blog: What to wear!

By James Fricker on in Training

Spiders, venom pumps and a very special bit of running kit

It’s not something I usually have a problem with - I just reach into the drawer, pull out the closest bit of clobber and bound out the door – but oh, how times have changed (and the weather, and people's opinions of running in 'apple catchers' with We Will Rock ...

Gear Pick of the Week: Helly Hansen L/S Stripe Crew

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

Helly Hansen L/S Stripe Crew (£30.00) Kerry says: There's a reason why this baselayer with the distinctive stripes down the arms has become one of Helly Hensen's best known and biggest-selling pieces of kit: it works. It's small and lightweight (you can scrunch it up into a ball the size of ...

This week my attention turned to kit – whilst I’m busying myself covering weekly mileage it’s dawned on me that something’s missing – a back pack filled with a week’s supply of calories and sleeping equipment!

Gear Pick of the Week: Nike Women's Shifter Jacket

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

Nike Women's Shifter Jacket (£48.00) Kerry says: At £60 this was already good value but the on-sale price makes this pretty much fall into the category of 'can't afford not to'. Nike's Stormfit fabric ensures that in all but the most biblical of weather you'll somehow manage to remain snug and ...
