He Ran for 152 Hours. How Is That Even Possible?

How does someone go from chasing a faster parkrun to running for more than six days? For Phil Gore, it started with a simple love of running and seeing how much he could improve. He worked his way from 5Ks to eventually discovering backyard ultras (BYU)... a format where runners complete a 6.7km loop every hour until only one remains. Then things got extraordinary. Phil became a multiple world-record holder and backyard ultra world champion, including a remarkable 102-hour performance. But behind those achievements is a fascinating relationship with endurance, competition and the limits of the human body. In this conversation, Phil takes us inside the experience of running for days, dealing with strange sensory experiences, the role his wife and family play in his success, and why his most meaningful running memory isn't actually a world record. 🎧 Prefer to listen?
