Wrap your head around this lol - If you use mcmillan to try to predict a 12:42 100 miler, you would need to have a 1:02 half marathon / 2:12 as your predictor.

Camille is a good marathoner at 2:37 but the women who are faster would not beat her at 100 miles. The same is true of Sandy Vi who set the US transcon record a week ago, running an average of 58 miles a day for 54 straight days; a four-hour marathoner who can outlast pretty much every female at really long distances. I wonder if Camille will try to take on trail ultras now? I know Sandy Vi has not tried a trail ultra yet, only road based events. But who knows, maybe trail running is not their type of running.

Camille is not new to the trail ultra scene:

Congratulations to Camille.

The WMA calculator gives this a 96% rating, equivalent to 2:22 marathon. Trason's old record is given 88%, equal to a 2:34 marathon. Massive jump.

She hasn't completed a 100 miler on the trails, not yet. It seems she would be dominate. But she dropped out of Western States. I am sure she will try one again.

Imagine how fast she would be as a full raw vegan forefoot striker.

Tunnel Hill is a rails to trails path. Flat or steady 1 percent grade. Faster than a flat road course because of the softer, crushed limestone groomed surface. Protected by trees, so negligible wind. Perfect conditions today. Not a true trails race. All world records in the future will be set at Tunnel Hill.

since when is a "softer, crushed limestone groomed surface" faster than pavement? it's not faster at 25 mph, it's not faster at 15 mph, and it's not faster at 8 mph.

Agreed, modified by perhaps less impact stress on the softer surface.

What? 7:37 per mile is a jogger's pace, any sub-230 marathoners should be able to hold it past 100mi.

Wow, this is beyond impressive!! And I was happy with my 6 mile run at that pace today! Go Camille, she has to be one of if not the fastest posters on this message board.

Yup, all the way across the USA, sea to shining sea.

That is because the mcmillian predictor is based on existing records and performances. Since ultras are so far only run by b level talent or slower (since all the A level talent is busy making money in marathon and below), the mcmillian calculator is going to show that a new record in an event like this is equivalent to far faster than the world record in shorter events.

If ultras start to offer large sums of money, we will start to see men running 100m races with a marathon "equivalent" of times like 1:50 and other ridiculous comparisons.

Congratulations Jaguar1

Kostlenick or Villines were not running close to 7:37 pace.

Can jaguar string together 50 days of back-to-back 60 mile days, to shatter the current record held by Villines? Besides having the right mental make-up, along with the physical talent, support-crewing is a very important factor in order to pull it off. There are safety risks in Transcons, as well.

Stupid quote

"Camille is a good marathoner at 2:37 but the women who are faster would not beat her at 100 miles"

Here is example of someone who is grandiose, pompous, and pretending to be a pseudo intellectual......lacking in-depth knowledge or critical understanding. A person who pretends to be of greater intelligence than he or she in fact is.

so now she has to grow a thick, full beard

Congratulation to Camille Herron.

The old record was by Gina Slaby from 2016 at Desert Solstice 13:45:49, not Ann Trason's very long standing record of of 13:47:41 from 1991.

Don't try to pin that quote on me.

Camille's record counts as a road record, and not a track record, so it was Ann Trason's record that she broke. Gina's 13:45 still stands as the track 100mi WR.
