Description

Garrett Philbrick is more than just a teacher, a dad, and a husband: He’s an ultrarunner on a mission, a comeback tour of his own.

With nine ultras under his belt, Philbrick is building out his mileage and time to prepare for a packed calendar of races to close out the year.

He sat down with me to discuss his running journey, landing his first sponsorship, and why he chooses to run to heavy metal music.

Follow Garrett on Instagram, Strava, and check out his go-to running playlist.
