Record runner fuelled by tacos and smiles
Camille Herron has an absolutely extraordinary story of resilience and stamina and the power of positive thinking.
In March 2024 Camille Herron cemented her place as the greatest Ultra Marathon runner of all time. She broke the six day world best, clocking an astonishing 560 miles. That's further than running from New York to Washington and back in 6 days, further than London to Newcastle and back in six days and roughly the distance of Accra to Lagos and back IN SIX DAYS!!
She's been telling Sportshour's Nishat Ladha about her achievement.
