How an Indian runner trained for a brutal marathon in the Sahara Desert

Somewhere in the middle of the Sahara Desert, runner Mahasweta Ghosh broke into song. Entertaining yourself is vital for those competing at the Marathon des Sables —a 250km stage race that unfolds over six days in southern Morocco. In May this year, Ghosh became the first Indian woman to make complete the race, in a time of 55 hours 42 minutes. Besides running, Ghosh would also work on strength training and mobility workouts for 4-5 days of the week.
