This is my training diary for the 2008 Marathon Des Sables. It was a 2 year program with various events in 2006; including 10K's, New York Marathon to get me fitter, then my first ultra marathons, a multi-day ultra, then finally the MDS itself. I hope you find it useful.

Training Plan Month 7
This month things change. Instead of the pattern of 3 weeks build up, one week consolodation. It now goes easy, hard, easy, hard. No more consolodation, and the easy weeks are not that easy anymore.
I've switched daily sessions around to make sure I don't do 2 hard sessions on consecutive days, as now there is a full pace run included in the week, in addition to the interval session.
Also, I've annotated the plan to indicate on the long Sunday run that on some weeks i'll run the last x number of miles at pace. So, if I am running for 180 mins, I might run the last 6 at marathon pace. This varies from week to week as you can see.
I've also included the pace times for each type of run in the legend.
