No fancy running shoes or ultra-lightweight gear, just solid planning, preparation and a selective choice of kit has led Roraigh to succeed at this event multiple times. A lot for everyone to learn from this episode.

The Experiences of Roraigh Ainslie an MDS Veteran

The Marathon des Sables, known as the toughest footrace on earth. Competitors have to take on six marathons in six days across the Sahara desert, covering over 250km, in temperatures rising to 50°C.

The rules require you to be self-sufficient, to carry with you on your back everything except water that you need to survive.

Our aim is to raise at least £250,000 for Walking with the Wounded. This podcast is the story of those taking part in future races and of those with experience of previous years.
