There are many things written and said about desert multistage events, with differing opinions and often, just too much over complication. It can be very easy to over think things, when so often going back-to-basics is all you need.
My motto is ‘keep it simple’, and ‘fail to prepare, and you prepare to fail’. With that in mind, this guide focuses on straightforward, practical preparation to help you get the most out of your race experience without unnecessary complexity or confusion.
Inside this guide, you’ll find advice on building your training in the months leading up to the event, preparing for back-to-back long days on tired legs, and getting used to carrying everything you need for self-sufficiency. It also covers key areas such as kit selection, heat training considerations, nutrition strategies for multi-day racing, and the importance of managing effort rather than chasing pace in extreme conditions.
The aim is to give you a clear, realistic approach to preparation so you can arrive at the start line confident, prepared, and ready for the challenge ahead.
