About Us
Ed & Phil Publishing was born over a glass of champagne at Karen Hill's wedding. (Karen is shown below enjoying running in the French countyside during Run Paris to London)
It is a heady blend of the enthusiasm, passion and knowledge of Edward Chapman and Phillip Howells. We are both keen recreational runners who have taken on some of the big running challenges hence the epithet "Extraordinary ordinary runners"
We both believe that many of the running books available are written by 'experts' who concentrate on putting all their knowledge into print and in doing so confuse and deter the running beginner and include information that is of little relevance to the experienced runner.
So we set out on what we thought was the simple task of writting a book for ordinary runners written by ordinary runners. We soon realised that it was not that easy and it needed three or more books to do the job properly.
