Marathon shoes
Racing shoe choices are as personal as training regimes. Choose a
quality pair that suits your running style and you’ll be onto a winner
When looking for a pair of
marathon shoes, it pays to be
brutally honest with yourself.
Potential winners and nine stone
racing machines who train at sub-five-minute-
mile pace will be in a very different market to
steady three-hour-plus runners who train three
times a week. Whatever type of runner you are,
cushioning, flexibility, support and weight
should still play a role in your shoe choice. Most
of us need a model that will double as an
all-round running shoe yet feel light,
comfortable and flexible for race day.
Cushioning comes down to personal choice as
both types – hard and soft – are equally
effective. What you do need to think about is
support. Some of us crush inwards (pronate) as
we run and most, even racing machines, mildly
pronate – especially on very long runs when our
knees start to sag inwards as muscles fatigue. So
decide what support you need and whether you’d
prefer a low-support (so-called ‘neutral’) shoe.
Low weight works well for race days but less so
for regular training, because light generally
means less cushioning. However, if you’re not a
heavy runner the chances are you won’t need
much cushioning.
Lastly, never race in new or rarely used shoes,
whether it’s the London Marathon or a local
10k. They’ll rub you raw by the finish line.

98 | outdoor fitness APR-MAY 2012
Eyes widening in mild shock, sunburnt and sweating, I tried to process exactly what had just happened.
“There’s a shred of hope that they’ve
just… just…” I stammered but the words just stuck in my throat.
“…Gone off for a KFC?” offered Callum with poorly concealed sarcasm.
I looked around, desperately trying to glean something positive from our nightmarish situation. I noticed that our kit had at least been ditched in an elevated forest clearing, but surveying the panorama caused my heart to sink only further into my fetid jungle boots. We were standing in what was essentially a tiny chink in the armour of an otherwise utterly impenetrable landscape. Seas of forest undulating over 3,000-metre peaks stretched to the horizon in every direction, doubtless concealing vast uninhabited valleys, waterlogged forest floors and impassable rivers; a thousand natural snares waiting to catch us out should we fail to stay anything but absolutely alert. A tough ask, especially considering we had just lost our entire contingent of local guides, our food and our waterproofs.
Had we not been in such desperate circumstances, I might have been impressed. This sort of natural landscape was a major draw in attracting me to remotest New Guinea in the first place. Yet abandoned and alone it was impossible not to feel anxious. We were, after all, in deep trouble.
West Papua is truly one of the world’s last unknown places. The western half of the island of New Guinea and the easternmost province of Indonesia, it couldn’t really be much more remote globally, but it heaps further isolation on itself with the geographical extremes within its borders: a formidable 115,000 square kilometres of swamps, rainforest and the largest mountain range between the Himalayas and the Andes. A near perfect natural fortress.
Unsurprisingly, West Papua has kept the outside world at bay for centuries. People have, in fact, been living in New Guinea for 45,000 years, its unique geography resulting in hundreds of distinct tribal groups and up to one third of the world’s languages within its borders alone. The level of isolation within some parts of West Papua is so extreme that some not only lack knowledge of the world outside their borders, they don’t even realise there is another tribe living in the next valley.
I have been conducting expeditions in West Papua since 2007 and still struggle when it comes to deciding precisely what gear to bring. The first thing to consider is that
ridiculous geography. Big mountains require heavy boots and warm clothing. It gets cold at night, there’s heavy rain and, at high altitudes, ice and sometimes even snow. But there are also those vast lowland swamps and river crossings, which really require high-backed jungle boots and packrafts, and warm highland clothing has no place in the humid jungles. You also have to consider the wildlife: saltwater crocodiles, pig lice, freshwater sharks, deadly vipers, the lowland taipan, poisonous centipedes, the velociraptor-like cassowary, and even a semi-carnivorous fish feared locally for its alleged ability to remove the testicles of
anyone unfortunate enough to swim into its territory. Malaria is a big problem, as are a host of other diseases that mostly disappeared in the wider world at the start of the last century: elephantisis, for example, but also typhoid, trench foot, river blindness and a parasitic worm that causes horrific pustules and deformities to develop in any fleshy tissue it invades. In essence, the ideal choice of clothing would be a Victorian diving suit, complete with metallic helmet, inch-thick canvas suit and lead boots, backed up with an arsenal of medical supplies, an inflatable motor boat, enough dry rations to
“Malaria is a big problem, as are elephantisis, typhoid, trench foot and river blindness”

The sand Man How do you prepare for the
indescribable effort required to
compete in the Marathon des Sables?
Moroccan Mohamad Ahansal has won the
race four times (his brother Lahcen has
won 10) and simplifies his approach to five
months of altitude training in the High Atlas
mountains, running uphill and down. “It’s not
flat, the MdS,” he says of the lumpy,
energy-sapping sand dunes. He survives
the six-day race on a diet of fresh dates
from his garden and a trail mix of
honey, ground almonds, dates,
raisins and peanuts.
The runners have to carry food and kit for six days
while they race through the unforgiving desert under
the scorching Saharan sun
MaraTHon dES SablESThe statistics tell you pretty much everything you need to know about the Marathon des Sables, widely regarded as the toughest race on the planet. Close to 1,000 competitors face 155 merciless miles through the Moroccan Sahara, split into six stages of 12 to 50 miles a day, with temperatures reaching a scorching 50 degrees Celcius. They’ll drink 120,000 litres of water during the race and get through 6.5km of Elastoplast, 6,000 painkillers and 2,700 second skin blister plasters. Even the support team involves 400 people, 100 off-road vehicles, two helicopters, a light aircraft and four camels! Add into the mix the need to carry all your food and equipment for the entire race (only water is provided), your responsibility for navigating this featureless yet hostile environment, and that the running surface is sand and it’s no wonder that simply completing the race is a triumph, let alone competing in it. The 27th Marathon des Sables takes place from 6th April this year.darbaroud.com

Marathon shoesRacing shoe choices are as personal as training regimes. Choose a
quality pair that suits your running style and you’ll be onto a winner
When looking for a pair of marathon shoes, it pays to be brutally honest with yourself. Potential winners and nine stone
racing machines who train at sub-five-minute-mile pace will be in a very different market to steady three-hour-plus runners who train three times a week. Whatever type of runner you are, cushioning, flexibility, support and weight should still play a role in your shoe choice. Most of us need a model that will double as an all-round running shoe yet feel light, comfortable and flexible for race day.
Cushioning comes down to personal choice as both types – hard and soft – are equally
effective. What you do need to think about is support. Some of us crush inwards (pronate) as we run and most, even racing machines, mildly pronate – especially on very long runs when our knees start to sag inwards as muscles fatigue. So decide what support you need and whether you’d prefer a low-support (so-called ‘neutral’) shoe.
Low weight works well for race days but less so for regular training, because light generally means less cushioning. However, if you’re not a heavy runner the chances are you won’t need much cushioning.
Lastly, never race in new or rarely used shoes, whether it’s the London Marathon or a local 10k. They’ll rub you raw by the finish line.
