Camille's run wasn't particularly remarkable--about 10% slower than the men's 100 mile record.
Much more amazing to me is that this 10% performance difference holds remarkably steady for men and women's performance in a great range of distances, both running and swimming[0].
Yes, a world record is always remarkable in the general sense.
But in this specific context (discussing the coach's claim that women are "more capable of long-distance peak performance"), I wanted to point out that women's ultrarunning world records are not particularly better or worse than women's world records at other distances, even sprints.
