How to Crush (and Enjoy!) the Long Run Like Camille Herron

In La Quinta, California, Camille Herron walks out to the starting line of a six-day ultramarathon to the sounds of Madonna’s “Vogue,” her signature hair down, two water bottles tucked into her apparel. She struts to the beat, performs the “Vogue” dance, and offers high-fives to the crowd of media, as announcer and Olympian Colleen Quigley rattles off Herron’s long list of running accomplishments. Among them: the 48-hour world record of 270.5 miles—her longest distance as of the start of the Lululemon Further event, which kicked off March 6, just after 9 a.m. PST and concluded on March 12, just after 10 a.m. PST. More than a year ago, Herron started training with the Lululemon team, in partnership with Canadian Sport Institute Pacific (CSIP), where she has not only been a science experiment of one with her training, fueling, and sleep, but also an integral part of a research initiative by Lululemon, along with the nine other women joining her for this epic feat of running the farthest distance of their careers. Using data collected ahead of the Further event—along with stats recorded midrace via tools like force plates to measure gait and motion sensors to check how running form changes over days—the apparel brand aims to close the gap on sports science research focused on female athletes. (One study published in 2021 suggests only 6 percent of sports and exercise science research includes female-only participants.) With a master’s in exercise and sports science, Herron has always embraced trying new tactics in training—backed by research—that help her run longer. “I’m a scientist I experiment,” she says. That could be precisely why she has become known as one of the greatest ultrarunners of all time. She never stops testing her limits.
