She breaks down the training block (back-to-back days, >100 km weeks, strength, sauna), the gear that mattered (hooded SPF top, RaidLight gaiters, 12 L pack), and a simple, robust fueling plan that worked: ~30–40 g carbs/hour with steady sodium (500–600 mg/h), plus ketones and blackcurrant extract for focus and gut calm. Expect honest lessons from a long day of 87 km—including 1 a.m. dunes—why supported made sense, how “jeffing” saved the legs, and the small camp rituals that sped recovery. It’s a practical, hype-free debrief for anyone eyeing multi-day desert ultras—or just curious how to keep moving when the terrain (and life) gets sandy.Highlights:Training that transfers: back-to-back days, low-intensity volume, leg strength, saunaKit that counts: SPF hooded top, gaiters, pack fit, foot careFuel & fluids: 30–40 g carbs/h, 500–600 mg sodium/h, caffeine as a toolStage stories: 87 km overnight dunes, a wrong turn, and smart “jeffing”Camp recovery: simple carbs, protein, ketones, and keeping fibre low","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/5uUjJw6NUZC5FWMQgLCI47ibFa6tBB2C0z8A_feCZiY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNjI2/NTEwMjAyMWQ2M2Iy/ZjliYjA4ZGFhMTBh/N2E2Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
