hink about climbing Mount Everest. And then think about climbing it twice. Now forget that entirely, because rather than climbing it, you’re running up and down it.
That’s equivalent to what Jasmin Paris achieved earlier this year when she ran the Montane Spine Race, a brutal 268-mile marathon up and down the Pennines.
In driving rain and gusting 50mph winds, the 35-year-old finished it in 83 hours, 12 minutes and 23 seconds, knocking a cool 12 hours off the previous male record. This, despite stopping along the way to express milk for her baby daughter.
In the Montane summer race, another British woman, Sabrina Verjee, smashed Paris’ record, winning the race outright and leaving any competition a cool six hours behind her.
Then there’s Courtney Dauwalter, an American who finished the Moab 240 (240 miles across the Utah desert) in 2017, 10 hours quicker than the fastest man. And Lael Wilcox, another American, who won the 4,200 mile Trans Am Bike Race across the US in 2016, famously sprinting the final 130 miles to beat her nearest competition and becoming the first woman to ever win the race.
