Mrs Morse is an athlete who continues to strive to do better, do more and take on challenges and despite running 1,000km being an achievement she seeks more. It was hard but I know I won’t stop now until I’ve done 100km, 100 mile races, because I’ve realised our bodies can do whatever we believe we can achieve”, said Mrs Morse. “I’m so happy that this race made me an ultra-runner. She sustained herself with a powder called ‘Tailwind’, almond butter, baby food pouches and chia energy gels. Instead she had “the odd petrol station”. Unlike in a marathon, there were no pit stops where she would be provided with water, salt, sugary drinks and other staples used by runners. It just shows you how racing is what wipes you out.”
“My legs don’t feel as bad as after a marathon. “I feel fine today,” she told the Chronicle on Thursday. No stranger to marathons - she earned the Guinness World Record of ‘fastest woman to run a marathon dressed as a film character’ when, as Tinker Bell, she ran the London marathon in a time of 3 hours 45 minutes (which is not her fastest time for that distance) - this run was the longest distance she had run continuously. She completed the challenge on Wednesday when she ran 78.45 kilometres – the equivalent of nearly two marathons - in just 8 hours 33 minutes, running in both Gibraltar and Spain.Īs she completed the distance and crossed her own personal finish line, her two children, Dylan and Amalia, were waiting with a toilet paper tape she had to run through. Local athlete Faye Morse has completed a 1,000km virtual race across Tennessee in 55 days, coming in 786 out of 19,601 runners.
