Good afternoon!

The Breakfast Club email is back with more more exciting Bay-centered running content.  This week features an interview with Magda Boulet, who won last month's Marathon des Sables in Morocco—a stage race across the Sahara over 150 miles of Moroccan desert.  In the interview below I chat with Magda about race and packing logistics, how to survive a multi-day event on limited calories, and where sand ends up after 150 miles of running in the desert.

Additionally, this email includes upcoming events and motivational content to get you onto the road, trail, or track.

Onwards!
