New article! Heat acclimation can take its toll on the body, so how can you make sure you recover well between sessions? This is especially important if your heat acclimation coincides with your taper, as is the case for many people.
Share with anyone who has a race in hot climate coming up!



As heat training surges in popularity it is important for athletes to know how to prepare safely, and without negative performance impacts.

Beautiful but cold bike ride this afternoon. Autumn is definitely here! 🍁🥶 Noticed that I haven’t been riding for a while, it was quite the lung buster to do the first 7km straight uphill 😂😂🥵 That’s what you get when you live by a mountain, haha.

Hope you’re having a good week! 🌸

This is Liz, 69 years old. Liz finished the HALF MARATHON DES SABLES in Fuerteventura a few days ago. Three days of self-sufficient racing, with a backpack, over challenging trails and sand (43km+13km+23km).

Liz was timed out last year and not able to finish. To be able to return and get the medal meant a lot to her and is down to her strong will and discipline to reach her goals.

The main goal is to tackle her unfinished business in the 250km MDS in April in 2023, and after this milestone she can feel more confident that she will succeed.

Liz has worked on her strength in the gym, tackled some niggles with physiotherapy, and has done walking with gradually increasing duration and backpack weight. She has also lost weight in the process which has helped her get faster.

Liz sets a great example that it’s never too late to attempt to reach your goals and dreams. Her achievement also demonstrates that these races are for everyone. You do not need to be a fast runner. If you dream of doing an ultramarathon / stage-race, chances are you too can do it with the right training and preparations.

I hope that Liz will inspire some of you to pursue your goals whatever they might be. Join me in congratulating her on this fantastic achievement! 👏🥇🎉💕

I have created a checklist for the MDS. It's like a project plan that you can personalise to your own needs but which provides a guidance to what needs doing when. You can also apply it as a template to other similar stage-races. It's free and you can read more and get it here. I hope you find it useful!

When preparing for the Marathon des Sables it can really help to have a clear timeline of events. Here is my Marathon des Sables Checklist!

I don't know if I diverse themes such as heat acclimation and ethical non-monogamy have ever been dealt with in the same podcast before, but there's a first for everything! 😅🎙
