New GWR for Female Treadmill Running

shazkea

I just read an article on a new GWR for "most distance covered by a female in 7 days on a treadmill".
A Kent runner Mimi Anderson ran 403.8 miles in one week. She ran for 20 hours and averaged 57 miles per day :eek:.

I complain when I have to run 3 miles on a treadmill!!! Madness methinks!

Anyone know any other interesting GWR like that?

I'm up for correction but I believe she also holds the GWR for "LeJog", which is running from Lands End to John O'Groats.

Oooops sorry - wasn't around the forum earlier this year and have just read the GWR thread here by hunnymonster & amadeus. Apologies if this seems insensitive.

ah don't worry about it, this one seems clear cut, no Garmin glitch to contend with. One positive thing that can be said for treadmill running

I see that Mimi Anderson will be attempting to beat the female record from Malin to Mizen (current record: Sharon Gaytor - 4 days, 1 hour 39 minutes and 55 seconds for the 345 miles). Starting Saturday at 6am.

Yeah, I just saw that myself. The oul Twitter is great, I don't know how I heard about anything before it!

Twitter - distracting employees since 2006.

I think Mimi's talents are more than up to the Malin to mizen, I only think that four days is a huge ask having traveled the route in a "car".

Fingers crossed for her. I know how much people came out for Hunnymonster and what a lift that was, so if your on the route, give a cheer.

Yup, she has damn good credentials, with a double-badwater, double-comrades, John O’Groats to Lands End, etc.

Massive achievements and I don't put four days past her but it is still a huge goal.
