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.

Pain Free Run.
Don't get too excited. It was only 3 miles. I've been reading all the articles on ITBS and as well as all the stretching and strengthening, some also suggest running "fast not long". My knee went at just over 3 miles in the last run, so today I decided to run just under 3 (2.9), but to run it quickly.
I ran a local route, starts on quite a steep hill, levels off and comes back down. Then it undulates back home. See the route above.
I ran it at 7:35 minute miles, which I was happy with, and pain free. I've been strictly keeping with my exercises and have another physio tomorrow.
I'll try another run on Thursday, perhaps a little further, not quite as fast, but still at a good pace.
