Jasmin Paris is a British ultra-runner who made history by becoming the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons, a notorious ultra-running race held in Tennessee, USA. Despite completing the race just three days prior, Paris' hands were still black with dirt that refused to wash off, and her feet were swollen and blistered.
In an interview on March 25, Paris revealed that she had to push herself to keep running despite feeling the urge to walk, stating that she knew she had to finish the race or else she wouldn't make it.

LONDON – Three days after becoming the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons, one of the world's most notorious ultra-running races, Jasmin Paris' hands were still black with dirt so deep it would not wash off and her feet swollen and blistered.
"I knew I really had to run, otherwise I wasn't going to make it. And I really, really wanted to walk, everything in me was telling me to walk," she said on March 25.
"But the idea of putting myself through five laps of that again (another year) – I poured everything I had into trying to run. One of my thoughts was 'I either slow down and stop or I push harder' and I somehow forced myself to go faster.
