Mike is our resident nutter for the challenge. He is a marathon fanatic and is competing in the Marathon De Sables (150 mile Sahara desert run) this year prior to the WHW.

He runs 50 miles at the weekends for fun in the rain, wind and freezing weather. I think his moto sums it up '

Anyway someone with his experience is worth listening to and Mike has kindly asked to give some of us novice runners some tips for the challenge. This page links to some other pages and info which Mike has added. Have a look as there are some gems here that will help in prep, training and on the actual day of the challenge.

I had asked Mike about running gear, so check out his views on what you need for the running we will be doing.
