54-year old becomes youngest in history to run 1,000 marathons..... Guess her PR

That's more than once around the world. This is when you add up her marathon distance's. It wasn't all done in official marathons and many she was the only one running the 26.2 miles.

That marathon investigator dude is busy scouring her 8 hour marathon results right now. Lol

I am going to go out on a limb here and guess somewhere between 2:00 and 5:00!

Yes, you should be impressed. Thanks for asking.

Mixed feelings on this.

It's not a zero feat. It would take a decent amount of fitness to be able to walk a marathon once a week. I suppose eventually you adapt.

Good that she's raising money for charity too ($170000)

Wonder how she's financing all this. Must be a lot of travel and registration fees involved. Even if we were super conservative and said it cost $500 to finance each marathon on average we're still talking half a million dollars. Is she covering that herself or is part of the charity donations covering this? If she's getting it financed through the donations then $170000 to charity suddenly doesn't look so good.

Also, this is an incredible amount of time to spend. It's her time so she can choose how to spend it but she must not have many other commitments.

This diminishes it to me then. If it's not an actual race or she's doing it by herself then it's not really a marathon. I have been running at a high level for over a decade, the majority of the time my long run is 15-20 miles every week. I guess I can claim run 3,000+ half marathons in my life then? Even though I've only raced probably 10 of them and a handful of marathons.

She did 1,000 marathons slowly. Well, she had the perfect formula to accomplish the task. You think you're going to get to 1,000 marathons doing them in 2:14? No. The body would breakdown

You should report her and the group to Derek Murphy so he can harrass them and post photos on his website to publicly shame them for taking up space like he has done to other runners running side by side.

In case you have no wit, the above was sarcastic and meant to show how out of touch and pretentious Derek Murphy is.

Guinness has her down for 129 marathons from September I, 2012 to August 31, 2013. Without repeating the same day how do you even find that many marathons ? Angela has a very good job with TXU and a nice house not to far from White Rock Lake so money traveling would not be a problem. Time off to travel would be so I don't see how she could have done them all around the world. She is a member of the 50 state club a few times. Also she has gone international. Averages 40 a year and sometimes one on a Saturday then one on a Sunday. I guess you could call it an obsession.

This. Exactly.

About 90% of the posters on this forum appear to be total losers. As an outside observer, looking in, lemme tell ya, this site is not a pretty sight. An echo chamber of the emotionally stunted.

This is why I have been saying that more US runners need to go to the marathon early. We could get this down to 45 or maybe even under 40 if we didn't have so many on the track after college.

Coincidentally, the site linked with the story also has an article published today that Camille Herron became the youngest person to 100,000 miles.

Of course nobody really could likely know who the youngest to 100,000 miles actually is. It could be someone who doesn’t even know it themselves.

Some Neanderthal woman 10,000 year did this 10 times this before she died at 30, as humans ran across the savannah for a living. So world record no.

I remember Clan of the Cave Bear Running Club back in the day

Was she paying for them all too? That's like $50-100,000 of entry fees, then think about all the cost of travel and hotels.

i remember reading the book Clan of the Cave Bear back in the day.

She's a true star - started running to raise money for MS since her husband got the disease. Has raised over 100,000. Wow. Amazing person.
