Went out way too fast, and has hardly moved since reaching 500km. There is no 300 mile record to break, it's merely a split in a 6 day event. She probably opportunistically aimed for the 300 mile mark so she could claim to be the 'first woman to break a man's world record in running' and from now on will endlessly bring it up on her socials and in interviews etc. If her race isn't already over she won't travel much further before it is.
Just for you, new world best at 72 hours. she might be done, she might not, but I love the view that taking a break to “hardly move,” in a race that last SIX DAYS, and when you’ve already run 300 MILES, is somehow a bad thing.
I never said it was a bad thing you fool. The point was she was running in a manner that wasn't appropriate for a 6 day race so obviously it was going to come back to bite her - as it clearly has.

Clearly came back to bite her. Only broke the world record by 11+ miles! Total failure!

She broke more world records than there are doughnuts in a baker's dozen, some by very significant margins. I hope my racing comes back to bite me like that, too.
I could sit in a chair for 200 days and I'd probably break bunch of world records. Good for the people that feel validated because someone was really bored for 6 days, I will not be jumping on the loser train however.
The title of this thread is nonsense. This was not the first-ever 6-day race, not even close. Learn your running history. The first known women's six-day race was held in 1876, won by Mary Marshall. During the late 1800s there were 50 women-only six-day races involving several hundred women starters. The largest race was held in Madison Square Garden in December 1879 with 26 women. The six-day world record for women in the 19th century was 401 miles.

Why are you trying to take this first-ever, world-class athletic accomplishment from these ladies? Be better!

Next we can have women's 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. day races.
Then we can have 501, 502, 503, 504, etc. mile races.
At some point, a stage race makes more sense.
Let me know when Jaguar does something in a real race.

Well, we need to keep making the races longer so that Camille can pretend to be the world's greatest ultrarunner.
The tagline for her website really is "world's greatest ultrarunner". A problem with this is her single Comrades win was the slowest win of the century thus far. Several other women have more wins at Comrades than her. Of course 0 UTMB wins. Jaguar might be the world's greatest ultra headline grabber. What really gets me is trying to bury her 26th at the US OT, like that result isn't good enough for her. She'd rather highlight the world record for a marathon in a spiderwoman costume.
Some of the women won't run nearly as much, but a significant goal of this project is to collect large amounts of performance-related data on women of a broad range of abilities and body types. Scoff if you must
you aren't going to get "large amounts" of data in a field size of 10 people. it's a very small data sample.
reading between the lines here, the organiser wanted to be woke first and foremost, then they wanted to make a bit of publicity/money, and the "performance related data" was an afterthought to try and appease the scoffers.
The big fatties were included to sell size XXXL yoga shorts so they don't end up in discount bins at TJMaxx.
The obese woman is Mirna Valerio. Approaching 12 hours of running and She has currently run 36km. At current pace she will have run a marathon after about 14 hours. you go girlfriend!
161k instagram followers. Something is wrong, with the amount of exercise she posts on insta for her to be that size.
She was on the Rich Roll podcast precovid. nothing is wrong other than mirna consumes more calories than she burns and what she does burn is always at a moderate to low intensity.
