'This race schedule might break me' - endurance icon Heather Jackson maps out 'crazy' 2026 Has any other elite athlete ever had a schedule like this? Cocodona 250, UTMB, Unbound XL and the Tour Divide are all included.

“I think in the fall and winter when I was laying out what I wanted to do, these things really lit a fire in me. But now that they are approaching – and extremely quickly – it’s probably crazy to try and do these!”
