MDS Training Day
Scottish Borders
Join our team of experienced ultra organisers and athletes for a training day set within the beautiful Scottish Borders.
This, the second MDS training day in our series will include additional lectures on injury prevention and blisters.
Instructors:
Donnie Campbell, personal trainer and experienced ultra runner. Donnie has won the Scottish Ultra and been in the winning team for Scottish Ultra and Eagle Isle Ultra. In 2011 he ran non-stop from Glasgow to Portree. A former Royal Marine, he now works as a personal trainer with a special interest in running and ultras.
David Scott, Race Director of Gobi Challenge and Scottish Ultra and a veteran of many ultra events (including MDS) and extreme wilderness challenges. As a physiologist Dave studied performance in extreme environments including desert, altitude and cold weather.
The weekend will feature a long morning run (fully kitted) with the afternoons dedicated to practical demonstrations, testing gear and food and high quality lectures from our instructors.
The weekend will be pitched at those taking part in desert ultras and will be an ideal opportunity for anyone taking on the Marathon des Sables or Gobi Challenge
