Camille Herron has built an incredible resume in ultrarunning filled with trophies and world records. She is an endurance and ultra running [world] Record Collector on the road, trail, and track.

She's committed to pushing back the boundaries and guardrails put on women's sports with a list of accomplishments that should make anyone listen.

Enjoy this conversation about Camille's great accomplishments with emphasis on Lululemon's 6 Day event, Spartathalon, Comrades, IAU Championships, and more.

Some takeaways:

1. Camille switched from road to trail + felt at home
2. She sets mini goals during races to make it feel attainable
3. Pain perception [or lack thereof] is her superpower
4. She caps long runs at two hours during training
5. Training should be tailored to individual needs
6. [especially for neurodivergent athletes]
7. The camaraderie in ultra running welcomes everyone.
8. Spartathlon and Comrades connect runners to a rich history + heritage

She believes she has many record breaking years ahead of her - what are her goals?

Josh brings back the classic Borderlands [DFL Before DNF - iykyk] question for Camille - "how do you keep going when you want to quit?" No doubt in Camille's intense and rigorous endurance records she has wanted to quit but hasn't. So how does she keep going?

-

A few years ago she noticed that she could incredible race output from decreasing her long runs down to 2 hours max. She later found a French author and researcher who wrote a book as he chased the idea.

After adopting it, Camille has enjoyed less injuries and an overall increase in performance.

[Hosts note: Candidly, we set out to talk about the not-so-recent 'Wikipedia situtation' but as the conversation was going I decided to stay in the moment of celebrating an unbelievable career. I hope to have Camille on multiple times in the coming years where we can talk about this and so many other things important to her and ultra running.]
