Enjoying skiing while it lasts, blessed with the most fantastic weather. It’s special to have this “back garden” to play in. 😍 It’s been fun doing some skiing this winter (alpine & XC) and now I look forward to sun and not running in spikes on icy roads anymore ☀️😎🏃‍♀️ Next stop Dubai where I’ll be doing a talk on 27th April. Pop by if you’re there!

One more sleep and then it begins. I’m not there this year but I wish all my coaching clients, friends and every participant the very best of luck. The @marathondessables is still THE multi stage race and so much more than a race. It has a way of touching you deep inside, of changing something in you that leaves you somehow connected to the wind, sand, dust and harsh conditions forever, longing to go back. What is the magic brought on by the star filled sky, the self sufficiency and the endless sea of sand? I don’t know, but I treasure all the times I have had the privilege to experience the MDS. I hope that those who run this year will do it with an open mind and let the spirit of the Sahara touch their soul. If they do they will have an unforgettable experience. ••• Today was kit check and the final dinner before self sufficiency begins. Tomorrow they will be eagerly and nervously waiting at the start line, listening to Patrick doing his speech before sending them on their way to the tunes of “highwell to hell” and maybe the longest 10-second count down they will have ever experienced in their entire lives. ••• The course looks interesting this year. Day two will be tough and those who didn’t pack light will suffer in the dunes.... I look forward to following the first day tomorrow. 🙌 📸-> @iancorlessphotography . . . . . #marathondessables #marathondessables2019 #mds2019 #sahara #morocco #multistage #ultrarunning #maroc #sand #sandrunning #selfsufficient

Yesterday we had an all-day snow storm but today it would have been criminal to not get out skiing under blue skies! As with all things you dedicate some training to I am thankfully getting a bit better at this (slowly)😅😎 . . . . . #runnerslife #trysil #skiing #lifestylechoice #xcskiing #norway #ultrarunner #training #sziols #sziolssportsglasses #focusyourvision #myracekit #enjoyyouradventure
Perfect conditions for skiing today 👌 So much fun and great training. I haven’t done this properly for 20+ years but it is motivating to have room for improvement 😂😬 I love having this on my doorstep! 😀 📸-> @sondreamdahl #trysil #norway #skiing #runnerslife #wintertraining #lifestylechoice #gorewear #alwaysevolve #sziols #myracekit #enjoyyouradventure
"What if I fall?” “Oh but my darling, What if you fly?” /Erin Hanson The key is to dare to fly. You may fall along the way but that is far better than not daring in the first place. Life gets better the less you care about what other people think and the more you do what you are passionate about. 📸-> @iancorlessphotography . . . . . #followyourdreams #internationalwomensday #livelife #goyourownway #fly
When at home I spend most my time in the kitchen. I love cooking, baking, trying new recipes, experimenting with flavours... My cold has made a return 🤷‍♀️🤧 so today was better spent inside than outdoors. I had a productive day making focaccia, blueberry muffins and buckwheat sourdough bread. All vegan 🌱 Now I must get myself out the door running soon or we’ll have to get a bigger freezer or lots of visitors. 😂☕️🧁🥧 . . . . . #cooking #baking #plantbased #vegan #veganbaking #trysil #norway #påhytta #sunday #whenimnotrunning #veganrunner
Save the date: eve of 27th April I’ll be doing a talk in Dubai as part of the @myracekit “Tales from the Trails” series. I’ll talk about races in different environments (desert, rainforest, high altitude): what expect, how to prepare, and what kit to take plus we’ll have a Q&A. If you’re Dubai based or passing I hope to see you there! 📸-> @iancorlessphotography from our multi-stage training camp in Lanzarote. . . . . . #myracekit #enjoyyouradventure #talesfromthetrails #speaking #socialevent #runchat #inspiration #multistagerace
