About me

Introduction By 2005 I'd completed 3 Ironman-distance triathlons, run 13 marathons and ultra-marathons (including a gruelling 81 miles in a 24 hour track event), and a rag-tag of other endurance events. Completing those events and the training that goes with it has given me some fantastic memories and experiences. Tired, tight muscles and numerous injuries saw me stop in 2005. After another 4 years of a desk-bound profession and the inactivity and weight gain that goes with it the flame reignited and I became desperate to get my fitness back. On the wrong side of 40, could I get fit enough to complete the Marathon des Sables?
