Max heart rates can be as low as 150 (Anne Audain), and as high as 200 (Lasse Viren).

I'm not referring to max heart rates. Mimi's Strava data is showing her as averaging 177 BPM for many hours at a time which is not realistic. Sandra's is much more reasonable.
Thanks for the links, and good observation

You have no idea what you're babbling about.

177 does seem high.
is she using optical HR or a chest strap.
those optical HRM's have a tendency to lock on to cadence for long periods of time.
Sorry for copying this from the Mimi Anderson thresd, but it seems relevant here too.
After doing some research, I'm a bit confused about this record. Lorna Michael and Eiko Endo both ran los Angeles to New York in 64 days during the Trans Am footraces of 1993 and 1995 respectively. Mavis Hutchinson did 69 days in 1978 and is credited with the record. Guinness recognise crossings between and west coast city and New York as long as the distance is equivalent or greater than LA to NY.
On the mens side, Pete Kostelnick, Marshall Ulrich and Frank Giannino all did San Francisco to New York which is 200 miles longer with more climbing.
It seems crazy not to have a standard route.
Sandy is looking strong. Another great day yesterday.
The favorite for women at Badwater this year dropped at like Mile 9 due to a stress fracture. Last years' (2016) womens winner, either just had a baby or is pretty far along in her pregnancy. 2015 winner wasn't there. It was a pretty weak field for women.

A win is a win. Looking at her results so far that was no fluke.

Sandra is a decent ultrarunner. Great she is not. Not fool yourself with that Badwater win.
We will see how she does on her Trans America attempt. So far it's looking good.

Ah, it is just the fastest stunt anyways...
Rolling terrain might actually help.
consistently knocking out 55 mile days is a pretty impressive stunt.
i know everyone on letsrun could do it if they could be bothered, but still...
early days yet though. im guessing it starts to get hard when she wakes up tomorrow.

What is easy about run up CA 120 to Tioga Pass? Her stop today is at 8000 feet. Tomorrow she runs downhill to about 7k feet, then runs to the Nevada border still over a mile high.
Bit boring compared to Young, Reading, Kavorky(?), Greathouse, Rossi, Hughes and all the other cheaters.

yes im guessing.
i have no idea how her body and brain is coping currently but if you could offer some more insight then please do.
The insight was offered, not that you are willing to see it. In your mind running 160+ miles up to 8000 feet is easy. And once you running down 2000 feet from that elevation it gets harder. Next time you troll at least think before you post.

next time your try to be clever at least think before you post.

LOL ... such insight. Are you an experienced multi-day ultra-runner? It seems that you are.
I don't think she can keep this up. I mean I give her credit for what she has done and what she's trying to do but this is a brutal endeavour.
Is anyone keeping track of Mimi? Does she have the full Strava info like Pete and now Sandy? There are some questions about her and her association with that real estate scammer.
