Mike Hartley's record is truly amazing, but obviously Jasmin's and his times can't be compared. Jasmin ran the whole Pennine Way without support, she had to carry everything with her, including sleeping bag, stove, cooking implements, plenty of food, extra clothing etc etc. She had to run and navigate on her own which meant she had no pacers and she did it in winter conditions. She was also expressing milk for her little girl, and of course the amount of extra calories her body was using to produce milk is huge.
Second lady Shelli Gordon came in about an hour ago, 17th overall. It's all quite mind boggling.
