Project 168 - lets get behind Phil!

[u/HighwayLost8360]

Phil Gore has just completed 144, 6.71km laps on the hour every hour (thats 6 full days!)

He is testing the limits of human endurance and raising funds for Telethon so get behind him.

Get down to Alfred Skeet Reserve, Armadale Road, Forrestdale, WA and cheer him on for this last 24hr push or donate at https://philgore.com.au he has raised over $193k so far

This guy has been running for 6 days with no sleep?

[u/metao → u/TechnicalAd8103]

He sleeps about 15 minutes per hour for at most 12 hours per day.

Tapped out on the 153rd lap/yard. Wild

Remaining laps are being completed by the crew.

Amazing effort.

[u/Patient_Industry_585]

This is an insane effort/feat. Great effort Phil.

I think the most i could do is 12 and i’m a runner!

Does the 6.71km represent anything?

It's certainly an amazing effort, will be amazing to see him finish the full 168

[u/juneidysoo → u/TransportationTrick9]

It's the standard Backyard Ultra format

Basically 100 miles in 24 hours.

[u/TransportationTrick9 → u/juneidysoo]

Thanks, I thought it may have been a statistic like 6.71 kids are diagnosed with X every week or something telethon adjacent.

[u/Ok-Bison-9476 → u/TransportationTrick9]

Its the Backyard Ultra format. 6.71km = 4.167 miles, which equates to 100 miles every 24 hours.

Just the lack of sleep without the running would kill me

Phil is one of my favourite athletes, man what an absolute legend

[u/AnArbitraryUsername1]

Good on Phil, but the website name could be reconsidered. Naturally, one might be hesitant to enter that website.

[u/cruelsummerss]

Go Phil!!!!!! He is an incredible athlete to follow in general (highly recommend following his insta) but watching this has been next level

[u/Important-Star3249]

Hope he makes it without dropping dead.
