Had my 4th and final session in heat chamber yesterday - and training now complete. Not planning anything more than a few walks during next week - will get no further benefit from training and need to rest as much as possible so that I am fresh and ready to go in 8 days time. The only thing I can achieve from more training at this stage is an injury - which is the last thing I want.
The last 2 sessions in the heat chamber saw the temperature increased to about 40 C and then yesterday 43 C at the maximum. Did 50 minute sessions and did just over 3 miles each time. I had packed my rucksack with everything I will be taking with me - somehow it all goes in - so it was a good test mimicking as far as possible what I will face when we get out there.
Have also got my shoes back - and what a difference. Sent them to Cobblers and Keys in Pontefract (www.shoehealer.co.uk). A really professional outfit. I sent the shoes on Monday and they were back with me on Thursday and I have every confidence the velcro will stay on and hopefully the gaiters will keep the sand out of my shoes.
The tickets have arrived for my flight - this is becoming very real!
