Phil is going to run across the desert! The marathon de sables has called him and he is following. Phil and I met on twitter and the moment we first spoke to arrange the podcast, it was clear that we would have no trouble in talking about running together! Talking with him was uplifting and fun! Phil is challenge orientated and he has discovered that running has changed him in positive ways and given him more confidence through finding out that he can do what he didn’t know he could before. He has also found that it is a constant learning ground and place for his own personal development. Having embraced running challenges that have taken him deeper within himself, he feels ready for the big one! 150 miles through the desert, where one of the main obstacles is how to run and not get sand in your shoes! It is certainly the aspect that has always alarmed me when I have found my thoughts heading in in that way!
