Is anyone else following Imogen's attempt at breaking the current record of running all of the 3 Peaks challenge?

I think the current womens record stands at 7 days and 31mins set way back in 1979 by Ann Sayer.

Shes currently in Milnthorpe Cumbria after 4 days running and heading south to Wales for her last summit. 

See started at sea level in Fort William and will end at the coast in north Wales.

She appears to be going great guns.  If I am reading this correctly, she has covered 526km (out of in 4 days 13hrs 30mins.  She has ~ 160km to go, about 100miles, including up and over Snowdon.

I wonder if the weather has been a blessing or a hinderance?

Dry and firm trails, but a lot of sun and heat.

Daft question but will she actually run on steeper ground? Or would this be too much of a penalty for her longer goal?

Looking at her progress she's as tough as nails, probably runs even faster up the steeper hills 🤣

Remarkable achievement. Imogen was on Women's Hour this morning - 10:04 onwards.

Total machine. Didnt she do some crazy length of Britain run at some point too?

Edit: Google says she ran the length in 20 days. Blimey
