Description
Hannah Caldwell and a large team profile an all-female six-day ultramarathon in a 2026 study called Project FURTHER. Ten women aged 27 to 48 ran a certified, self-paced race, with tests before, during, and after. Measures covered fitness, body makeup, energy use, food intake, sleep, heart rate, and mood.
All ten set personal distance records, averaging 463.6 kilometers, and the top runner covered 901.8 kilometers, breaking the female world record. Runners slept only about 5.2 hours a day and burned far more energy than they ate. No clear muscle or thinking fatigue showed 24 hours after the race.
