Phil Perry had 28 days to run 507 miles for the Phoenix Running lockdown challenge. It was back to back days of running averaging 18 miles a day and 127 miles per week throughout the 4 weeks of lockdown #2. Phil came in at 3rd place out of 182 participants on the virtual course around London. Writes Lisa Phaure

Phil said “It was a real mental battle, my legs were tired, but I had to force myself out of the door after work in the dark, cold and sometimes very wet evenings. I tried to find different routes all around Salisbury and knowing I had to cover at least 15 miles a day was the hardest part.


I did have some support from my family and some club members who ran with me at various points which helped enormously. A tough challenge and I don’t think it is one I would want to repeat.”


Well done Phil, what an amazing accomplishment!
