What an incredible achievement.

I couldn't have done that at 31, never mind 51 (and having had a hysterectomy and breast cancer).

She's the first person to run the "double Ramsey" - yes that's right, first person not "just" the first woman.

116 miles and just shy of 56 hours.

She's broken multiple Fell running records - why isn't she Dame Nicky?

Time to celebrate an amazing achievement by a female athlete!!!!

Holy moly.

That's incredible.
I really must exercise my puddingy body. Women like this make me give myself a long stern look. I'm in awe though.

Thanks for sharing
