RunYogi Diaries PodcastEpisode #94 with Nattu Natraj on adventures of Badwater, Marathon Des Sables and many 100 milersIn conversation with Nattu Natraj, the first known person of Indian origin to do Badwater 135, a tough grueling ultra foot race.

Therefore, the runners often seek solace on the white strips on the side of the road, where it is relatively less hot. To prep for Badwater, Nattu completed the Marathon Des Sables. Marathon des Sables, or MdS, (French for Marathon of the Sands, also known as Sahara Marathon)[1] is a six-day, 251 km (156 mi)[2] ultr...2022-04-281h 04

Despite being blind from birth, Lord Blunkett has always been a keen rambler and is President of his local Ramblers group. En route they encounter half a dozen cattle, which have to be navigated carefully as David once had three ribs broken by a cow which, he recalls, came towards him with a 'primeval bellow' and knocked him over.

When he left he spiralled into a severe depression, something he now realises he had suffered from for many years. He says the business world is still a place where it’s very difficult to discuss mental health...2019-09-2624 minRamblingsLGBT+ Outdoor Adventures GroupClare Balding is with a group of young LGBT+ ramblers who meet once a month to explore the green spaces close to Manchester.
