Impressively spread out for being less than a day into it. One woman has completed 20.4 miles, CH has completed 122.3 miles. So much lapping of people.
Even considering her age and gender and the fact that she's an ultrarunner, if she can't even run a 30 then she shouldn't be getting world renowned media attention.
Shut up, most people, including those who can run 30s and elite marathoners, can't do what she does. That's like saying Usain Bolt deserved no attention because he wasn't a good swimmer.

Now this I disagree with.
A 30 sec 200 should be extremely easy for anyone who can run a 520 mile.
Any average athlete who can run a 30 second 200 could absolutely do what she does.
Camille is more on par with the talent level of people who can't break 40 for 200 meters. And no I'm not comparing apples and oranges. I don't care what your specialty is. If a 30 is difficult for you, then you need to retire.
This is another example of people who don't understand what inclusion means. Inclusion doesn't mean only including people who are normally excluded and excluding people who are normally included. Inclusivity means welcoming everyone including men in this case. It means welcoming everyone including white people in other cases.
There is this weird false idea that inclusion means only allowing underprivileged groups to do something instead of allowing every group including the privileged groups to participate together.
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 doubt that 300 miles was even a world best. In previous races such splits were not taken seriously or officially recorded - there were no timing chips worn of course. But the 72 hour mark is definitely not a record. If you read the report of Kouros' record at Colac in 2005 by Phil Essam he writes "at halfway (72hrs) Yiannis Kouros had covered 590.8 km". I don't know what Camille went through 72 hours in but it's currently 77:30 hrs into the race and she's covered 582km. Quit it with all these fake record claims for goodness sake. She doesn't need it, she's great as it is.
