Obviously it's impossible to have some perfect formula to compare every aspect of one performance to another, but I used my own experience from road, track and trail racing (as well as coaching elite women) to consider the most impressive female runs ever and have included the equivalent list for men here. I am unbelievably grateful.Given there are plenty of annual lists at this time of year for best performances and runners, it got me thinking about the very best ultra performances of all time. It was super inspiring to see everyone rally around the cause.

Looking back to a year when he set another record, the FKT on C&O Canal Path, he showed appreciation for those helped him on his journey. Through all of his impressive feats, Wardian remains humble. Among the notables from 2019: breaking the world record time for 10 marathons in 10 days (with an average time of 2:55:17), setting a Fastest Known Time (FKT) of 10 days, 16 hours and 36 minutes on the 631-mile Israel National Trail and winning the inaugural Marine Corps Marathon 50K in 3:11:52. His accolades are impressive, so much so that it is challenging to keep up with his latest mind-blowing achievements. He is not only a prolific runner he handles all sorts of distances on all kinds of surfaces.

After having to DNF at Western States, she rebounded to win the 50K at the Hennepin Hundred and set a new world record at the International Association of Ultrarunners 24-Hour World Championship. Just weeks after the crash, Herron won the Tarawera 100-miler in New Zealand. It's actually made me reassess my life.” While it took her longer to recover emotionally, her running did not seem to miss a beat. “It’s really helped me appreciate the world around me and appreciate what my body can do, what I do as an athlete. “I almost just died,” she told me, understandably breaking from her normal jovial tone. She did get to safety, relatively unscathed physically, after her vehicle was struck by another in January. And Herron was upside down in the vehicle, trying to figure out an escape.
