Phil Gore is a household name in Ultra Running, making a name for himself as a Former World Record Holder in the Backyard Ultra format with 102 loops at the Australian Backyard Masters in 2023, which still stands as an Australian record.

More recently he set a new Oceania 24-hour record at the Asia-Oceania Championships in Canberra. In this podcast he gives some great insights into how to tackle your next Backyard Ultra, his meticulous planning, as well as how he became the runner he is today, which includes an impressive run streak of running five or more kilometres a day.

Phil also shares the tough decision he could be faced with next year after his great performance in Canberra. You can find him on instagram: @phil.gore.ultrarunner
