Marathon Des Sables Running Camp Recap


i just returned to the flooded city of seattle from a trip to tucson, az. i was there to coach a running camp for the marathon des sables 6 day staged race through the sahara desert. tucson provides some amazing terrain and we had 65-73 degrees every day. the ten campers were led by mds veteran jay batchen and myself. our daily routine included yoga, 1-2 runs, cross training, a classroom session focused on mds and lots of eating! we held the camp at the cycling house, so jay and i could focus on coaching and not cooking. it also provided a great environment for campers to hang out together.

check out the camp videos and recap on my blog.
