Many people would try very hard to run just one marathon. They would need months of training to finish the 42.195 km race. However, marathons are no problem for Australian runner Erchana Murray-Bartlett. She finished running 150 marathons in 150 days.
Ms Murray-Bartlett ran 6,329 km from the most northern part of Queensland to the southern city of Melbourne. Her five-month run set a new world record. It's the most consecutive(连贯的) daily marathons ever run by a woman. She broke the last record of finishing running 106 marathons in 106 days.
Ms Murray-Bartlett is a great runner. In 2021, she missed the Tokyo Olympics, so she turned her attention to a record-breaking challenge. She started her challenge to raise people's awareness(意识) of the extinction crisis(灭绝危机) in Australia. Australia is rich in biodiversity(生物多样性), but many kinds of animals and plants are dying out in her country. Her run raised 70,000 for the Wilderness Society to protect those animals and plants. She said it was a really hard five months, but she knew she could do it.
She said, “Though sometimes I am tired, I thought: ‘No, I can go one more kilometre’ or ‘No, I can go 500 more metres’. If we connect small goals together, we can make it.” This is a lesson for us all.
