“I took part in the 2020 Lanzarote training camp and simply cannot recommend it highly enough. Not only was it efficiently and professionally run and provided me with extensive and priceless advice about the upcoming MDS, it was also hugely enjoyable and enabled me to have the wonderful experience of meeting new people whom I know I will remain in touch with. The camp suits all level of ability as you are split into groups from day one. You are also free to change groups should you wish. I’m an inexperienced runner in formal events and quite frankly I only decided to attend as I thought I required a crash course in everything MDS to assuage my panic at the increasing proximity of the race. The whole experience brought the race alive for me and instilled a confidence that finishing it is indeed, an option. A special mention should be given to the tutors whose friendliness, humour, patience, attention to detail and overall professionalism were an inspiration and confidence boosting force for everyone. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe the 2020 Camp as an absolute game changer for me. Roll on the 2020 MDS.” – Andrew Wyatt

Thank you all for being such a friendly bunch. To those who have done MDS before and have shared their experience, the coaches and fellow first timers like me, it’s been a pleasure to spend time with you. See y’all in little over 10 weeks. Stay safe amigos. – Sabrina

I can’t quite believe I would say this. It didn’t start well for me but it has ended on such an amazing note. I am beginning to believe I can actually do this. Thank you everybody who has constantly given me the encouragement and reminding me I can do this. I really appreciate your kindness. I am mostly grateful to Ian and Elisabet for the words and time they have given me. And to everybody else, thank you too… – Sue
