yes widening in mild shock, Will Millard sunburnt Picture sand 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.

A near perfect natural fortress.

Unsurprisingly, West Papua has kept the ridiculous geography. Big mountains outside world at bay for centuries. People require anyone unfortunate enough to swim heavy boots and warm clothing. It into its have, in fact, been living in New Guinea gets cold territory.

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 SablES

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 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 shoes Gear TesT

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 Words Paul Larkins Pictures Adam Atkins & Jacques Portal

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-minutemile 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.
