Summary
We’ve all said it — “there just aren’t enough hours in the day.” But Jasmin Paris proves otherwise.
In 2019, she won the gruelling 268-mile Spine Race — not only becoming the first woman to win it, but beating the men’s course record by 12 hours.
Alongside being an elite ultrarunner, Jasmin is a mum, a vet, and lives a full family life. She’s a brilliant example of what it looks like to prioritise what truly matters.

| 0:00.0 | We've all said it. There just aren't enough hours in the day, but Jasmine Paris proves otherwise. |
| 0:04.9 | In 2019, she won the grueling 268 miles spine race, not only becoming the first woman to win it, |
| 0:12.1 | but beating the men's course record by 12 hours. Alongside being an elite ultra runner, |
| 0:18.4 | Jasmine is a mum, a vet vet and lives a full family life, |
| 0:21.7 | and she's a brilliant example of what it looks like to prioritise what truly matters. |
| 0:31.8 | The first theme or subject I was interested in was the art of staying present during the race, okay? Because |
| 0:39.4 | obviously, like 268 miles long old way and if you're looking ahead at all that, that's |

| 1:25.5 | I think I've only got 267 miles to run now, not 268. So you |
| 1:30.2 | really need to break it down. So I, you know, there's checkpoints in the spine race that are roughly |
| 1:35.3 | every 50 miles apart. And there you know that you're going to get food and you're going to get |
| 1:41.1 | the opportunity if you wanted to sleep and dry socks and that sort of |
| 1:46.3 | thing so and also just company you know like it's you know a lit room and somewhere to sit down |
