Follow Camille Herrons world record attempt

I think the kid who told you that was the one making up a record.

Jeah, the solo 24-hr wank-a-thon kid.

With that much stamina, he should try running.

Since he doesn’t need sleep or a cigarette after, he’d be a natural.

Congratulations Jaguar1!

Absolutely black page worthy, BroJos. Has a verified LetsRun poster ever broken a world record before? Not that I am aware of. She made a lot of blowhard posters on this thread eat their words.

yea such a nice jog , this is equal to a 16min 5k loser

How does it feel to be a crusty and pustulent human bunghole every morning you wake up in your mom's basement?

Feels great bc it’s your Mom who I wake up next to every morning. She enjoys my crusty bunghole, check her tongue ring next time you see her!

real q: how many times would Camille have lapped Sage if he’d run? Is that why he pulled out? Fear of a slower 100mi split than Camille?

What an unbelievably stupid contrived event.

Unlike the completely reasonable 26 miles 385 yards (or 42.195km), which is not even remotely contrived and is a totally natural distance.

My Mom passed away 10 years ago at age 70. You are one sick dude.

Regardless if you guys think it’s jogging or a dumb WR or whatever, she just ran 24 hours (ended up being the equilvalent of ~6 marathons) around a track! Her avg pace was under 9 min. I’m sorry but that takes a whole other level of mental toughness (or maybe craziness) to run around a track that long. I cannot even imagine running one marathon around a track, let alone 6!

Real slow now:

You can MAKE UP records in the ultra world. Dean Karnazes did it more than once.

Camille's achievements are extraordinarily, but [ . . . ] no one is really ever gonna care much here.

Dean Karnazes "set" one contrived mark that's impossible to verify (longest run without sleep). He was a pretty good ultrarunner in his prime, but not elite. Dean never competed seriously in a multiday running event.

You can make up short distance records too. People who care know the difference. 24 hour racing has a rich history. We are in a Golden Age of 24 hour female performances globally. Those willfully sticking their heads in the sand are missing out on something special.

Dean K. is a liar and deserves no praise.

Dean Karnazes is probably a lot better runner than you are.

Call me when people competing to put food on the table start running ultras

“I have a passion for distance running of all kinds. I’ve had people that have run from 800 meters on up to 100 miles. And you train them a little differently but it’s all running."

Ultrarunning is a niche sport primarily competed in by highly educated and privileged white people. It's kind of like Nordic skiiing in my mind. Great athletes but the talent pool is so limited it's hard to get excited about these various record attempts, FKTs, and all the other media exposure. And yes Camille Herron is a far superior runner to me and probably a better person than me. I'm not bitter or jealous, just don't care that much.

This is generally... true esp in mountain ultras...there are financial barriers to entry. However, Camille as also won Comrades...which is actually a much more diverse race than most ultras. It has 20,000 runners in it and by far the most prize money...which makes it more competitive. Congrats to her on the stellar run and record. She won the race outright over guys like Zach Bitter and Pat Reagan. 24 hours really looks like a different beast compared to 100 miles on the track. Sure it is niche (even within the niche of ultra running), but probably not as niche as the 200 mile and multiday stuff (or even something like Barkleys) She ran a really good performance.

Sage,

If you were healthy and fit, would you race Camille Head to head on a track in an event like this? Do you think you could beat her?

There’s no way he could - her mental toughness is far superior. We are comparing her to a meatless Vegan who’s name is an Herb? C’mon.
