Throughout her 365-day marathon running programme, Hằng is also actively raising money for the "Bright Tomorrow" and "Operation Smile" funds. She hopes that her completion of this challenge will not only demonstrate the value of her efforts but also convey a profound meaning.

Hằng explained that at the age of 37, she carefully considerd each choice she made. Before undertaking the challenge of completing 42km daily, she gradually tested her limits by running between 10 to 20km each day. Surprisingly, her health steadily improved, and she never experienced any serious injuries or accidents. The inspiration to run 42km daily came from a successful British fundraiser who also completed a year-long marathon.

"I have my own method of maintaining my health and always listen to my body, understanding my own limits. Progressing from one full marathon to the next is a cumulative process for me. Running, to me, is an act of self-love rather than a means of boosting my reputation," Hằng said.

Although Hằng started relatively late, her passion quickly ignited. Her performance steadily improved, initially progressing from feeling breathless after just 100 to 300m, then gradually reaching 3km, and eventually running 10km daily. She has become a familiar face at domestic marathons, participating in distances of 42km, 75km, and even 85km.

For Hằng, with each completed race, her love for running grows stronger. She believes that running provides her with a means to better understand herself, lift her spirits, and maintain a strong physique.

However, after sharing her challenge with the running community, various opinions emerged on running forums. While many people expressed admiration for her determination, wellbeing, and audacity, others were concerned about the potential impact of continuous running on her bones and joints, given the limited time for recovery.

Responding to these concerns, Hằng said, "I want to emphasise that undertaking this extraordinary challenge is not about setting records or seeking fame. Many people still consider me crazy and advise me to stop. I am my own coach and doctor, considering every part of my body as a companion to regulate my running rhythm."

In reality, to take her challenge, Hằng acknowledged that she had to make sacrifices, such as neglecting aspects of beauty, skincare, and her job, in exchange for spiritual, physical, and community-oriented values. She does not encourage everyone to participate, as it depends on various factors such as health, available time, and the purpose of running.

Nguyễn Văn Long, who ran 2,846km across Việt Nam, said: "Everyone has their own goals. I personally admire Hằng for daring to think and act upon her goals. Regarding health, each person has a different physical condition and strength. Given the number of days she has been running, her body has adapted to the conditions, and her health is hardly affected."

M Văn Vinh, who once ran 200km in 37 hours, commented: "I believe there will inevitably be an impact, but the extent of it depends on how she manages her nutrition and rest. Nevertheless, I truly admire her. Limits are established by humans, and human abilities are boundless."

The VMM, known as the unique and demanding ultra-terrain running race in Việt Nam, presents runners with intricate routes across the majestic mountains and forests of the north, along with challenges at an altitude of 1,800m.

Notably, Hằng has actively taken part in various domestic running events, amassing several accomplishments. She emerged as the champion in the women's 75km category of the Laan Ultra Trail 2023, claimed first place in the age group division for the 85-kilometre race at the Đ Lạt Ultra Trail 2023, and achieved third place in the Oneway Marathon Vũng Tu 2023.
