Hi everyone!
I have watched a documentary about Marathon des Sables http://www.saharamarathon.co.uk/ yesterday. It had really got me thinking, if I would be able to do something similar. As I was running for couple of years in my life (stopped some time ago) and hopefully, would not have any problems going back to shape- I decided to participate in some event in 2-3 years time.
Now it's the question- where to find something like that close to home (I mean in Europe). I;m not sure yet, if I am going to run all the way, or just walk. Ideally I would like to spend some 5-6 days walking, challenging myself.
I hope you could help me find an event to do that.
Thanks.
Kuba.
