Ep 30 Philip Balnave- Slipper Running Marathoner

Matt is joined with Co Host Danny Toole to interview Philip Balnave.

This unique gentleman has been running and racing in slippers for the past ten years with incredible results. It’s rare for Phil to run over 3hrs for a marathon in his slippers, he runs 81mins for a half marathon and has been known to run 30km to warm up on the way to his event!

Phil doesn’t have a car and commutes by slipper or scooter everywhere, consequently this prolific racer dominates the pointy end of many events throughout Sydney.

Age doesn’t seem to be slowing him down, he shares what he does on a regular basis to keep running up to 200km a week injury free.
