    There are some truly sensational performances in ultrarunning, and I don't think anyone would disagree that this is up there with the best of them. To put that kind of speed in after 60 hours to get the finish by literal seconds is so fucking incredible. Have been crying at videos of her finishing all day. Truly a historic achievement!

    @runsingletrack Hi. I'm confused. What's the rule? Ihor started loop 5 first and he chose clockwise (CW) direction so that sets the direction for the rest of the runners, right? So why did Campbell run CCW and seemed to have the right for Jasmin's direction? Thanks for anyone who'd like to enlighten me.

I dig how each documentary is from a different perspective, some about thw race as a whole, some about individuals, or history, training, etc. There are a LOT of good ones, and they simply do not get stale.

    She's 40. And no age is too old to run. I didn't START running until I was 53, in 2008. The first time I'd run at all since 5th form cross-country in 1971. Within 18 months I'd completed the London Marathon in a time that was good for my age. I'm rehabbing from back surgery at the moment but between ages 64-66 I was the fittest I've ever been. My VO2Max was 42 and my resting heart rate 44. Blood pressure 116/72. I was even so about 14lb overweight ( I'm more now!). I was supposed to do the Spine Challenger South race this coming June but had to pull out as my back surgery rehab won't let me train at the level I need to. Maybe in 2025? I'm not fast. I think I've placed first in my age category in maybe one race, but I also placed last in my age category in the same race! And I'm not unusual. I'm regularly passed by runners over 70 and one of my friends still does trail running at 84, after cancer surgery. At 53 I was 60lb overweight, high blood pressure and a VO2MAX of 25. Even now, 68 and recovering from surgery, I'm fitter than I was in my 20s and 30s. You don't have the explosive power of a sprinter when you're older but you have stamina and also the knowledge that your body can do a lot more than your mind thinks it can. On the endurance events I've done, it was noticable that although younger competitors were faster, they often gave up quite quickly whereas oldies would finish. Not in the top places, but they would get there.

    I have never doubted that a woman could finish this race, however I have always doubted whether a woman can run it under 60 hours to be an official finisher, especially when so few men have. If this record is legit, then Jasmine has super woman powers. She is way beyond every other female ultra runner and it is mind boggling that she could do what so many can cannot do. That is what makes it hard to believe. I want to believe she completed the Berkley and finished under 60 hours, but she has smaller muscles, lungs, heart, weaker twitch reflexes and naturally more body fat than any male runner. Biology is against her, so how on earth did she do what she did? How did she beat all those men?
