Great video. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm training for my first marathon this upcoming Feb and vlogging about it. I love watching others also putting in work!

What a great achievement, you are really strong. I love New Zealand with my heart, it would be a dream to discover this landscape as a trail runner on such a great course. Your video simply makes you want more. You are great. I hope to finally be able to run in your country again in 2022. Best wishes from Germany

Great video diary Jacqui, the pain in your feet after the longest stage was crazy to see. I'm watching the 2020 edition for the first time from my lounge, well jumping on FB to get the updates. Friend of mine, Gareth Edmondston survived it last year and is smashing it out again this year. All you athletes are just inspiring. Thank you for spreading the word via this platform too.

[@matthewrubcic5530]

[@nancysmith9487]

Enjoyed your experiences... great job You and ultras are an inspiration for others to see what capabilities are attainable... Scenic veiws incredible

[@NepThach]

Wow! Made me cry seeing and watching your journey, it's amazing. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering. Here I am working towards my first 50K, thinking it's hard >.

[@morgantorium]

awesome vid, and what a brilliant job colin did with the camera work :D

[@jime2504]

Well done, thanks for showing the fabulous scenery and you were so strong,

[@JackKinross]

Awesome. Incredible what is being achieved in the world of ultras. Hat off to you, well done, very cool video.

[@CodingWithUnity]

not a long distance runner, just curious, it looks like the slow jog pase is basically a fast walk pace. Is it easier to jog slow than walk fast?

[@arielluna6906]

Felicitaciones, espectacular carrera.

[@brianewers9296]

Inspirational. Well done Jacqui 😁

[@bridgetspicer1624]

[@oldskoolrunner]

Great video and scenery. Just curious about the type/name of shoe covers and pack? Stay safe and happy trails!

[@johanlarsson7375]

Super inspiring! Even though it is on the other side of the world, I would absolutely LOVE to run in NZ!!

[@jamstaa69]

Amazing how you all do those distances day after day, you lot have to a special kind of crazy.. I’m broke just trying to push through for my first 50k. Those medals should be the size of dinner plates 😜 well done all. Thanks for the video.

[@ToasterDude1]

Wonderful film and you are one tough girl!

[@andycollings258]

Thanks for sharing, useful to see what I have to look forward to in a few weeks. That was quite a full pack you were carrying, were you unsupported? I'm running supported so hoping to get away with a Salomon Ultra 12 race vest.

[@gdultrarun2699]

congratulations. That is an amazing video. I am now going to have to look up races in New Zealand for future years. First Fat dog (Canada) 2020 and Lofoten ultra (Norway) 2021. I am not sure about a stage race, do you have any suggestions for a 100 miler or even 100 km?

[@Btc123lwrd]

why do you have such a big backpack ? while the others are running quite lightpack, is there a reason ? :) thank for the answer. by the way, super inspiring video :)

[@runningstories4791]

Wow beautiful race I ran the virtual race.

[@mpgrewal00]

Pack carry and run 323. That is great achievement.

[@brasildeluta]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@leslie7922]

Well done!

[@stijndeklerk]

What an epic way to start the run being dropped off by a helicopter. I'd love to know what pack you were running with. Thx.

[@yantifitri7353]

good run

[@jessicagallant8303]

Wow..damn women your amazing!! Congratulations

[@nancysmith9487]

If I may make a suggestion, you have endurance, ability, stregnth. Chi runners and barefoot runners run just as long if not longer bare feet. If can be done by changing a little of style smaller steps lighter on toes forefoot, like a cat. This will help with blisters aches and small nagging pains that come with running long distances. barefoot running on grass will help change posture. Pretend like stepping on pins and needles. Plus you'll be even more effective and efficient in my opinion. Thinking that's why the guy came in the middle of the night to give you in certs. If you don't believe me ask or watch someone faster. Thanks for listening. Positivity on races, good job,keep it up,good pace
