beach training areaSo how do you train for a run across the desrt in 40 degree temperatures .... when you live in UK and it is the middle of winter.  To be honest it is extremely difficult.  I am very fortunate that I live on the coast though which means that I have the beach.  Yesterday was a spring low tide (as you can see by the picture below) and so I thought I would use it to get as much as I could out of the beach.  The course took me to eastney ferry (about 1.5 miles away) and then I hung a right to go along the beach.  It was quite simply a glorious day for training with hardly any wind.  With the tide being so low I was able to move from sand to shingle areas, which all helps in getting used to the sort of terrain I might find in Morroco.  Total distance - about 6 miles.  Time was around 50 minutes.
