A Vermont ultra runner has earned the female world record for the most consecutive days spent running a marathon distance.
That's what one Vermont ultra runner did last year while the world went into lockdown, and it has earned her the female world record for the most consecutive days spent running a marathon distance -- 26.2 miles. Alyssa Clark, a 28-year-old from Burlington, said she finds"the whole thing a bit unbelievable.""I never started the journey of running 95 marathons thinking that I would be a world record-holder," Clark said.
But the hardest part was making sure that she was in a position to continue each day, she said. "There's no take-backs on this ... If you mess one up or if you don't finish it or anything like that, then you don't get tomorrow," she added.
