My four-day trip was a fantastic experience. I was highly impressed with the detailed planning involved. Before the trip I gave my ability level in advance and an itinerary was created to suit me. We ran as a small group and supplies were available every 10-15km. I was a bit worried about running in the heat as I’m not used to it, but Sarah and Steve put my mind at ease. They have extensive experience running in Qatar’s desert so they knew when to run, when to hydrate, when to eat, and what to eat. I learned a lot about ultra running as a sport, training techniques, and picked up plenty of tips. I was surprised to learn that I’m currently running too much if I want to continue the sport in the long-term. Sarah spent time with me 1-on-1 to explain ways I can strengthen my core and balance as part of my training. All-in-all, the trip was very insightful and I feel enthusiastic about my future events and training. I’m really pleased I found Ultra Trail Spain and hope to make another trip in the future.
