Book Review
Recommended reading :
A Practical Guide - Ultramarathon Stage Racing by Guy Giaoui and Foued Berahou.

This is an excellent well translated booklet, 95 pages of tips, charts and all the advice you need to get you through the Marathon des Sables, Trans Aq, and similar races.
Written by two older " middle of the pack " competitors with a preface by Benoit Laval,
( the creator of RaidLight ) this book should be required reading. Even " veterans " can learn a few things. Published by RaidLight, it should be available from your nearest supplier.
Any problems contact
