FINISHED! After on-going back problems and cronic diarrhoea, I've completed the most gruelling footrace on the planet. This has been one of the toughest years of the Marathon Des Sables, what with people being taken away by paramedics, piercing sand-storms and unbelievable heat. Absolutely brutal.
Many thanks to everyone who has shared my posts, sent messages of support and kindly donated to a worthwhile charity. After all that pain, between us we are helping kids and animals who have had a terrible start to their lives. Your donations will directly go to help them.
Lastly, thank you to everyone responsible for setting up the MDS. They've been amazing, professional and supported all the runners throughout the week.

How To Row An Ocean & Be A MASSIVE Legend
When I ran the length of the UK carrying a 15kg bergen, I did no training at all because I'd been disabled for 18 months awaiting spinal surgery for a prolapsed disc. I still averaged an ultramarathon a day for 36 days with a huge smile on my face. When I ran the infamous Marathon des Sables across the Sahara (which many people train for years for), I trained for 13 weeks after an 18-month layoff due to personal issues. I ran two 6-milers, about ten 3-milers and a couple of 1-milers. I tried to run 17-miles but sacked it off due to the weather. This didn't stop me completing the MDS by jogging/walking up to two marathons a day in 52 degrees heat - some people that trained like maniacs gave up on the first day and a third of the competitors dropped out.
Before I crossed the Atlantic, I rowed a mile - three times - on the rowing machine in the gym ... before kicking that into touch for being boring.
What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to be ...
Hello Legends ... I have some exciting news coming soon re. our successful Atlantic row - I'll also get some photos and vids sorted - in the meantime let's focus on the import things in life. Here's some ideas in a rough order I employ:
1) Spirit first, ego last
2) Self care - diet, sobriety or moderation, mindfulness, taking ACTION!
3) Family
4) Relationships
5) Environment balance - work, nature, activities, etc
6) Turn EVERY negative into a POSITIVE!
7) Be in Service to others
Hope it helps - don't forget that fiver for others!
Big love
Chris
