Woman runs across Australia in 150 days. 150 marathons on 150 consecutive days.

I’m officially a wuss.

Amazing what humans are capable of.

Five months after setting out from the tip of Australia, marathon runner Erchana Murray-Bartlett has reached the country's southern edge.
The 32-year-old on Monday finished her 6,300km (3,900 miles) journey - a marathon every day for 150 days.
Ms Murray-Bartlett's effort sets a new world record for the most consecutive daily marathons by a woman.
And she has raised over A$100,000 (£57,000, $70,000) for conservation charity the Wilderness Society.
Ms Murray-Bartlett has been running professionally for years, but after missing out on qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics, she set her sights on another life-long dream.
She was going to run the entire length of Australia, and she was going to break the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive daily marathons by a woman - held by Briton Kate Jayden, who last year completed 106 in as many days.
Ms Murray-Bartlett set out on the run to raise awareness of the extinction crisis facing Australian animals and plants. Australia is home to some of the richest biodiversity in the world - much of which is unique to the continent - but it is among the worst in the world for biodiversity loss.
It was tough going for Ms Murray-Bartlett from the beginning - she had three injuries in the first three weeks.
But her body learned to cope as she wound her way along Australia's famous coastline, through rainforests, and down both dirt roads and highways. She sometimes ran in torrential rain, other times in heat upwards of 35C (95F)

She probably looks gaunt and will drop dead at an early age

That’s amazing. Surprised a human body could do that.

How do you know a gal is an ultra marathon runner?

Don't worry, they'll tell you

Well, that's just dumb.

If you're going to run somewhere, at least run through the US.

Nedd Brockmann ran across Australia in 47 days, averaging 53 miles per day.

How either his or her accomplishment is possible is far beyond my ability to comprehend

She has too many miles on her.

That’s tough enough.

I know the body type. Prolly got a hole you could ride a raft down.

Is there a man’s record that reflects more than 150 marathons for 150 days?

Quite an achievement, but she’ll pay for that in a few years.

Dang!
Think about what she could do on a bicycle.

32, <10% body fat, ammenorrhic; no kids.

Prolly just the opposite.

How tough am I? I fry bacon and eggs shirtless.

So do I.
My wife doesn't think I'm tough.
Stewart Pid is what she says.


She must not have a driver's license.
Why else would you run instead of drive?

I have a lady friend that’s an ultra marathon runner, and I often ask if she realizes we invented cars for that.

I’ll work all day in below zero temps and not fuss about it, but I don’t run for anything. Running for those kind of distances is unrelatable to me.

I know a female runner and her VaJ fell out (pro-lapsed) on a run. She had to lay down and tuck it back in and get to a hospital ASAP.

Prolly one of Tom hanks illegitimate kids.don't he live there? She sure got the Gump mind set. Lol

One of the toughest human beings I've ever known is an Alaskan hunting guide.
He taught me that the mind is tougher than the body.
He was a freaking animal.
I will never forget what he taught me.
He walked out of the Alaskan wilderness from a plane crash with a broken ankle and a broken jaw.

Your mind will keep your body going, once you fail mentally you are done.

That is quite an accomplishment . She will likely get commercials for it.

How many hours a day does she spend in the Australian sun in running clothes? They have the highest skin cancer rate in the world.
