By Kerry McCarthy on in Health

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 ...

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 ...

MdS Training Blog: Long Runs

By James Fricker on in Training

Aladdin made the desert look cool. Unfortunately I don’t have a magic carpet to whisk me over the MdS’s 151 miles or a genie to grant me three wishes, of which I’m sure one would be respite from the heat. Saying that, I can’t wait to see the rolling dunes, ...
