American endurance athlete Camille Herron has broken her own women's world record in winning the USA Track and Field 100-mile Championships in Nevada.
The 40-year-old beat her previous mark by almost a minute and a half, winning in 12 hours 41 minutes 11 seconds - averaging around 7:37 minutes per mile.

She finished almost half an hour ahead of first male athlete Arlen Glick, who came home in 13:10:25.
That is quite simply phenomenal. I probably couldn't do that on a bike!
WOW! Just Wow!

I love that her ultra-running is fuelled by tacos and beer!
