I'm not sure anything has ever captured my imagination and attention quite like HMs run has. This is fantastic news! Very well done indeed Jo!

So if that final text was right I make it:-
5Days 13Hours 44Minutes 45Seconds which I make to be 30 minutes (give or take a few seconds) faster than the previously reported fastest time.

Nice one Jo, take a bow. Awesome does not do you justice.:)

I have just found a new definition for courage and determination.......it all started at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon just outside Athlone on the road to Doon , Pat and I had travelled to run some of the way with Jo. When we arrived we met Jo smiling but suffering with severe blisters on both her feet. She had to stop twice over the course of the next 15km to receive treatment. At this stage she was barely able to drink mouthfuls in the 24 degree heath as she kept vomiting up anything she drank or eat. She had to stop at 8pm after doing 70Km of 125km planned for the day. Totally exhausted (btw I witnessed a no of car drivers shout abuse at Jo and support runners for holding them up by a couple of seconds). How disheartened would anyone of us be at that stage? Would any of us be able to even muster up a fight to keep going? She would also have been aware that because she could not get many calories into herself the next day regardless of how her feet healed her glycogen stores would be badly depleted; therefore, The next day would feel even worse for her. It was her 2nd day in a row of not making her 125km daily target.When Pat and I left Jo,Andrew,Steff and Niall on Sunday evening I did not believe she would make Mizen because too many factors were against her. Imagine my surprise when I then heard Monday night the plan was to go through the night so that she would finish in time!!! Jo..........nobody but nobody does it better than you!!!

Cant really add to what everyone else has said here, in every combination, its been an amazing task turned into history. I'd love to know what the celebrations are for tonight.
Ok, cold bath and some serious feeding to start with, but I'm sure there has to be a few beers too.

WELL DONE JO!!!!

I'm sitting up in bed in the blackrock hospital following a cardiac procedure this morning. As well as being worried about something going wrong and I wouldn't see the kids or my wife again believe it or not I was wondering how HM was getting on. I ran 11 miles with her the other day and I feel so proud to be one of those guys who ran along side to share some special moments on her amazing quest.

Well done HM, Legend.

I'd say TG4 will have something. RTE may do it if they had a camera/reporter there, it'd be a 'and finally' bit at the end of the news.

Yep, she's turned it into a triathalon. She's swimming to New York then cycling to Long Beach, California, lol. Actually, she probably could! :eek:

That's fantastic news, I'm so, so pleased for her, and don't forget the support crew - without them no record would have been broken! I'm thankful I had the chance to run with her, even if it was for just a piffling 6.82 miles, but it was the best 6.82 miles I've ever run!

Well done, Jo, you're simply awesome!

Ah FFS..... The 2 year old from Cork got a mention for singing on youtube but no mention of Jo for setting a world record!!!!! :mad:
