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!!!!

It was an ultra running man (did his first over 20 years ago) at my running club who told me about her, just after she’d done the double Bob Graham, as he was in awe. Not because she was a woman, but because that was such an epic achievement for any human being.

I agree, she should be more publicly celebrated.
