Join us for our final episode before we embark on our epic adventure through the Namibian desert!

We've shared everything from training sessions and mental strength tips to gear discussions, and now it's time to put it all into action. Thank you for following along and being part of our preparation. Get ready to join us as we take on this extraordinary challenge!
Also in this video, we'll discuss how was my last training block covering the famous West Highland Way in 3 days, the toughest training block I've ever faced.
We're thrilled to announce that it's now time to taper, recover, and prepare for our move to our new home in Dubai.
 
Stay tuned for updates from our new location as we aim to return with our first medal and share that triumphant moment with you all. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey—we can't wait to bring you along for the next chapter!
