Woman ran 1,000 km, says heat melted her shoes

Natalie Dau, a 52-year-old ultramarathoner, recently completed an astonishing feat by running 1,000 kilometres across Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore in just 12 days. Facing extreme heat and a severe hip injury, Ms Dau pushed through, covering the distance of two marathons each day. Her journey ended in Singapore on June 5, setting the Singapore record for the “Fastest 1,000km Thailand-Singapore Ultramarathon” and awaiting certification from Guinness World Records for the “Fastest Crossing of Peninsular Malaysia on Foot.”
