About us

This is us, Faye and Phil, taken at the end of the half marathon in Estepona, Spain, in 2023.

Vanlife Runners is a journal about our lives as both campervanners and endurance athletes. We run races from 5Ks to ultras, and spend at least a couple of months a year exploring Europe in our VW California and running in as many countries as we can like Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, the UK and sometimes further afield. Here we share race reports, travel updates, and tips on training, cooking and enjoying life “on the road”. We’re also on Strava (Phil here and Faye here).
