Desert Marathon help?

Question

I have a desert marathon across the Sahara this week (Thursday) . I was wondering what type of training I should do to prepare. I need huge stamina fast!! Thanks!!

Answer 1

I don't know where the 151 miles came from; the Sahara is much bigger then that and all marathons are 26.2 miles.

I'd say the best you can do is pace yourself and drink a ton of water.  If it's a night/morning run, stay completely covered.  If it's a day run, wear loose-fitting clothing and keep as little skin exposed to the sun as possible.  Four or five hours in that sunlight is going to be hellacious.

Good luck, anyway.
