Hey! I’m Phill,

I’m planning on running the length of Japan

I’m just an ordinary 40-something year-old bloke. For years I’ve been dreaming about running the length of a country (or two) and setting something like this up. So, after a miserable day at work, I thought to myself, why not. Here are five things about me:

  • I’m a qualified personal trainer and boxing coach
  • I also do freelance IT consultancy
  • I have a PhD in tuning drums
  • I’m a practicing Zen Buddhist
  • I quite like the rain

The Philosophy Behind ultramarathon.life

Just go out and do the thing
It’s not that hard

I don’t just want this site to be about me and the things that I’m doing. I’ve never really worried about just going out and trying something that I felt was worth doing. In the spirit of what can possibly go wrong, I’ve found out that many things can go wrong, but I’ve never regretted trying those things anyway.

I hope this site inspires you to take action towards whatever it is you dream to do. And if it doesn’t, I hope this site gives you a good chuckle now and again. Either way, I’m building a community to provide the supportive environment that people need to chase their dreams. If you’re interested in joining click the button.
