Jay Du Temple

In the Alps, mid-shoot, Phil’s watch lit up. Jay Du Temple, out of the blue. He wanted to document his build to his longest race yet, a 125 km. They didn’t know each other, but Jay’s tone felt grounded, open.

Phil met him in Kenya. Jay was cruising, tossing jokes mid-stride. Then it was back home for the long hauls: 160 km traverses, night starts, and the unglamorous middle. Jay was breaking personal limits. Phil was breaking tripods.

It became a four-part series that launched Jay’s YouTube: an honest look at what it means to start a sports series, and actually go all in.
