So overall my kit performed really well and I was more than happy with it. With a decent overall finish and only 1 blister it’s safe to say my kit choices were right for me. Let’s take a look at each piece individually and if you missed my previous kit list article, check it out here. In that article you will find links to all the kit I bought.

Marathon des Sables – 250km of running over 6 days, carrying all your kit and equipment, rationed water and living in Bedouin tents. Oh and it takes place in the Sahara!

For those who didn’t already know, I will be running this years Marathon des Sables (MdS). I hear you asking, ‘what is this Marathon des Sables you speak of?’. MdS is effectively 7 marathons in 6 days, running in the Sahara Desert, in April(temps of around 40 degrees C), carrying all your kit (around 7-8kg), sleeping in a Bedouin tent and eating freeze dried food. It has the reputation for being the toughest foot race in the world and this years 30th edition will see over 1000 people take part.
