Wow. Wow. Wow. Respect!

[mrrun]

I can’t say much. Words are often misplaced when faced with such an achievement. I’ll just sit down and be happy for her. Wow, indeed.

[AlMorr Half Marathon]

Wow, amazing, congratulations to her👍👍

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to AlMorr]

Marathon as a ‘training run’ springs to mind. This is incredible stuff.

[Cmoi Marathon]

Respect, indeed.

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Unbelievable! Huge kudos to her. 💥

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Indeed! As well as huge inspiration to others.

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Totally! 😍

[Tasha99 Marathon]

😮

[nowster Metric Marathon]

WOW!

To put it in perspective, my recent half marathon distance was at a pace of 9:52/mile (approx 2h09 in duration).

A pace of 7:37/mile is 4:44/km. That's a parkrun time of 23:40. Except she did 32.2 parkruns back-to-back.

Last year I contacted and ‘spoke’ to Jake Catterall on Twitter, a fella who covered 200km in 27 hours. To this day that still hasn’t sunk in. 200 kilometres. Some guys simply go longer. As simple as that. 😀

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to mrrun]

I did a little over 200km in January! That's the whole month, running every single day.

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to nowster]

It’s not just the distance, there’s tempo as well. Like super humans (which effectively they are). I’ll think about it next time I start slowing down during my 10k ‘effort’.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Incredibly achievement- incredible lady!👏👏🙂

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Absolutely. Nothing but utmost respect and awe.

[Rennur]

Wonder if she uses jelly babies as snacks?

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to Rennur]

Not sure, but somehow doubt it. This is stern stuff. Running at such tempo for nearly 11 hours takes more than that (as well as an impeccable athleticism/genes to make that happen).

[John_W Marathon]

Would love to see her training log.

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to John_W]

I can see lots of pages..

[misswobble Marathon]

Awesome 💪👊✊. That’s so fast💨 Incredible pace for such a long distance. What a gal 🏃‍♀️

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

Her lung/heart capacity and leg power are on a completely different level.

[misswobble Marathon]

Superhuman feat isn’t it 💪but she’s had to graft to get there 🙂

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

This is lifestyle stuff. She got the basics right (great parents/genes), as well as talent and determination to start with. The rest is a full time job without cutting corners. The only way to greatness, and she's certainly one of the greats.

[misswobble Marathon in reply to mrrun]

Mental toughness too. Having the physical and mental toughness to keep going. At those distances women can be stronger than blokes 💪

It’s good stuff to hear about in these trying times 🙂

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

I listened to her being interviewed on the Ali on the Run Show podcast yesterday, it was really fun! Interesting too. I have heard Camille on a podcast before, and found her voice a bit challenging to listen to, but I seemed to be able to cope with it this time! If you don't already know her, Ali is a great interviewer:

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thanks for that. I've found it in my podcast player app and downloaded it for a future run. It's 80 minutes long, so best for a much longer run, which seems slightly appropriate!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to nowster]

Ha yes! Ali IS a great interviewer, but she's not so good at managing the length of her interviews for sure 😂 Value for money, though!

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to roseabi]

I started to listen to it yesterday on a walk and finished it today on my 14km "tumble" run.

The woman is a running machine! Her idea of a short training run is 20 miles and her preferred distance is 50 miles, but she'd far prefer to get into sprinting. (And I have a lot of praise for her support team, AKA husband.)

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to roseabi]

This is cool, thank you for sharing. I enjoy such stuff. 👍😀

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thank you! 😊

[misswobble Marathon]

I’ve not, so thanks for that, I’ll go and have a listen while I’m on the sofa with my knee up 😤

I love to hear stories about strong women. We need it when there’s such “false messages of lethargy” about. To quote Jillian Michaels 😀💪

Speaking of which, I had to draw myself up to my full height yesterday when confronted with a bully 🤨

Ooh, did you win? xxx
