Camille Herron wins her 2nd World Champ of the Year

Nothing compelling about this result. Lets move on folks....

Try running that far that fast, then if you can top her, spew your wretched drivel ad nauseum!

#LogicFail Don't compare because they don't compare.

Congrats also to Tony Migliozzi on winning the men's race.

Blah Blah Blah, I can walk Backwards Faster then what thy ran, So Literally...Blah Blah, now lets line them up against the BEST in the world at a REAL world Championship and they will get top 100 at BEST. But Kuddos to them!

Camille Herron is just another example of a "runner" desperately seeking attention by looking for an easy win. Some get boob jobs and others like Andrea Duke go to be "professional" Obsticle Course Racers once they realise they are not capable of making the Olympic Team.

Yes because 3 women out of 150 million in the US will make the Olympic marathon team and all the others might as well quit. Don't be so fiicking stupid.

Who said they should quit? Just stop the irritating self promotion and attention seeking. Duke has gone from wanting to make the team to turning to OCR. Shit like this is comedic. Plenty of girls out there who do their thing without spewing about themselves. A little humility goes a long way.

No US women would have smoked her. You don't seem to understand how difficult these distances are and how fast she's running them. She has run and won two incredible World Championship titles this year and in incredibly fast times. Those who knock the strength of the fields in these events have no idea what they're talking about.

Congrats Camille!

When she broke the 100km wr, she ran a little over 62 miles in 7:08:xx - 6:53/mile

She's averaged over 100 mpw - per year - for 10 years. None of the other American women could touch her over that distance. She would have scored on the men's side for this event. Her accomplishments are more impressive than many of you give her credit for.

They could if they wanted to but ultras are retarded.... and okay cool she would have scored on the mens side... the competition in these events is complete shit.

Ultras are purely for people that arent okay with just being okay at shorter distances so they do ultras so they can place high in events with no competition.

She didn't break the WR 100K. Ann Trason actually still holds the AR with 7:01.

YO, get a life, no one is saying anything, because,NO one frigging cares about these stupid 50k-100k ultras. Do you know how,many US women would of totally smoked her today? Or even on the mens side what a joke.

No need to brag about somthing that is not worth bragging for son.

No need to be a troll. It was 80F, a championship race on hard slick tile with hairpin turns. I agree that should a 2:20 marathoner race a 50K, she would likely beat Camille, or a 2:10 marathoner would beat Cox's time, but until they actually show up and race...

Someone else mentioned Sage, Wardian, etc and said these guys run low 2:20s tops. It's interesting as Tyler Andrews who was on the 50K team is a 2:14 marathoner and there were a few other sub 2:18 guys on the team...

AMEN SIR!

There are a few top notch athletes in ultra running but lets face it most don't go there at the top of their game. I read a Cauldron SI article where a demented Duke states that she wants to be the only San Antonio born woman to qualify for the Olympics in the Marathon. Didn't see her in the results in her hometown against her formidible opponents yesterday. You don't see other girls out there making far fetched statements such as this too often.

No one cares. This is no big deal, except what you think. Who ever said camille would beat any female marathoners. Youre a joke and an idiot. Open your eyes, shalane, kara, crap alana hadley is even faster and could beet the BEER drinking so called 50k,100k champion. Haha next will be bragging about how sharks fly.

Wtf

Not sure why you added Hadley in that list, Jag's marathon PR is faster than Hadley's. And I don't recall Jags ever coming on this board and crowing about her accomplishments. She may reply to a question, but she doesn't start any threads. And if you say she's crowing on a blog or web site, I imagine she is trying her best to make a few dollars out of her efforts, anything wrong with that?

Anyone throwing stones at Herron is ridiculous. She has the polar opposite personality of both Hadley or Duke. The latter two are attention seekers, one being young and the other being older but instagraming like a 16 year old. Both bragging about more than they've done. Herron has always been humble and also made it a point to help others and try to progress our sport. Her blog is full of information she shared to help others run their best. True, maybe some faster runners could run what she has but the thing is THEY HAVENT. She has put in the time and energy. She deserves those wins and I hope she gets rewarded for it. We need more people like her representing the endurance community.

Good points made. Camile deserves some credibility. Its people like Hadley and Duke that make female runners look bad. I read somewhere that Duke claims that when she is on the the start list competitors will move heaven and earth to beat her. She recently placed 3rd at a local half marathon running 1:30+. Don't think those ladies moved anything but their legs to beat her. Why would Oiselle support someone like this?

JAG!!!!

WOW!!!

Ohmygoodnessgraciousglory! YOU ROCK!

CONGRATULATIONS!

TWO, two, 2....2....2 TWO World Championships....lol!!!

Amazing, absolutely, positively amazing. YOU'RE ROCKIN' IT!
