In this episode I'm joined by Barry Loftus, a recent finisher of the Marathon des Sables, a 250Km Stage Race in the Sahara Desert.

The MdS is a race that has always been popular with runners from Ireland and it's one that I get asked a lot of questions about. My knowledge of the race is fading and I used this opportunity to ask questions that help with anyone planning to take on this or any other similar event.

We talk about the training, the kit selection, what to expect when over there and how to prepare for your return.

Barry has also recently published a book that documents his journey to the start line and then his experience in the Desert.
