"Fantastic. I’m very happy that I made it through 366 marathons, before I started I was pretty confident that I could do this, but during the year I was hesitating a few times because I fell a lot, I got sick and sometimes the weather was very bad. So it was not very obvious that I could keep going. I had also a few minor injuries, but I had a good medical team that helped me through it."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilde Dosogne, Marathon runner:
Journalist: "So if I look back up on the year, would you do it again?"
Dosogne: "No, I would not. Before I started, I thought it would be easier, but it really wasn’t, it was very hard to do this every year (means every day). It’s not just the running, it’s also… even one hour before you start running you have to prepare then one hour after I have to take care of myself. And it’s also the social media, I post on social media every day and I have to keep administration for Guinness World Records. So I took photos and movies every day."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilde Dosogne, Marathon runner:
"I think the mental strain is harder than the physical. Of course, physically, everything has to be okay. Otherwise you can’t run for four hours every day. But it was more mental, to be there at the start line every day again. So yeah, you have to, yeah, to load your batteries every day until the next day."

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilde Dosogne, Marathon runner:
"One day I fell, it was in September and my finger was dislocated and that happened after 27 kilometres, so I had to go to the hospital and they put my finger straight so, but you can still see it. It’s still a little bit crooked… But then I came back home and I restarted the marathon. So, I ran about 70 kilometres in total that day."

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilde Dosogne, Marathon runner:
"I had it in my head to do this. I thought I could do it, but you never know for sure until you actually do it. So now I proved I can do it, but I don’t think I will do anything more crazy than this."

STORYLINE:
Finally coming to a halt on Tuesday — the last day of 2024 — Belgian ultra runner Hilde Dosogne felt she had done all to take the world record to become the first woman to run a marathon every single day of the year.
Weary but seemingly far from exhausted from the weight of relentless marathon running, Dosogne emerged from the cold, grey light to cross the line amid a throng of fellow runners all celebrating an extraordinary feat.
“I’m glad it’s over,” she said after crossing the line on the last day, leaving the last crash of many behind her when she collided with a spectator during her final run.
The 55-year-old would join Hugo Farias, the Brazilian who holds the male record of 366 days, which he achieved in São Paulo, Brazil, on 28 August 2023.
