The first steps towards the Marathon des Sables will be taken in the Leicester City Half Marathon on Sunday the 11th of October 2009.
I have chosen this event as it coincides nicely with my six month intervals. At twice the distance of my current runs it will provide a realistic and gradual build-up to my training regime, which has already commenced.
The Leicester City Marathon is an annual event, the route runs through the city centre. For more details please visit the links section to access the Leicester City Marathon website directly.
You may even want to register yourself and run with me!
All the best,
Alec Max.
