#24 - The Wild World of Backyard Ultras with Phil Gore

80 min • 14 maj 2025

In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Phil Gore. Phil is an accomplished ultramarathon runner, specialising in Backyard Ultras, a race style where runners complete 6.7km loops on the hour, every hour, until one person remains. He is the current Australian record holder and previous world record holder with a 102-lap personal best - that’s 102 hours in a row, covering 684 kilometres. Phil shares incredible stories from his biggest races, and also some great advice for aspiring Backyard Ultra runners. We hope you enjoy.
