Featured Fanatic Tony Phillippi, Half Fanatic, Marathon Maniac & Double Agent #3

Tell me a little bit about your road to the asylum. My road to the Asylum started in the 90's. Running 5k to marathons most weekends, Steve (HF#1), Chris (HF#2) and I were not only com- petitive with our own race times, but with each other. Eventually we started traveling to races together and the creativity started to flow.

What / Who inspires you to lace up your shoes and run? I'm inspired to keep running because of the feeling of accomplishment I get after every run. Also seeing all the amazing stories that come from our club’s membership is pretty amazing.

What are your goals for 2015 and beyond? My goal for 2015 was to run a sub 3 marathon again; it had been 3 years since I'd done that. In May, at the Newport Marathon, I ran my 27th marathon under 3 hours! Out of 263 marathons that's not a very good average, but it shows how challenging that is for me. My next race is Ironman Canada in 2 weeks and hopefully more marathons in the fall. I'm also looking forward to our Fanatic and Maniac reunion race in Victoria, Canada. We will be unveil- ing the new Canadian HF & MM tees there.

Did you ever anticipate the MM & HF would grow to what it is today? Steve, Chris & I never imagined the clubs would grow this big. When there were less than 100 members it was so much easier to manage! I'm so humbled seeing all the lives the club has touched and changed. You all are amazing!

What advice would you give to aspiring MMs & HFs? My advice to aspiring Fanatics and Maniacs is to listen to your body, if an injury has you questioning whether or not to start a race just remember that there is always another race, step back and train up to a healthier you. It's also a great opportunity to give back to the running commu- nity by volunteering.

Stories from “The World’s Most Insane Running Club”

This book is collection of stories by members of the Mar- athon Maniacs. These stories are sure to be encourag- ing and motivation to current and future members. The book was edited by Maniac Malcolm Anderson, author of the book “The Messengers”.
