A reminder that marathoning is not for everyone and it does take lots of commitment and training before one should attempt a marathon.
BUT .... on the other hand, you do have to give her credit, to have the courage to be at the starting line of the London marathon and to have done 18 miles without proper training or nutrition.
Excerpt from entertainmentwise.com
Big Brother’s Jade Goody has been criticised for not training properly for the London marathon.
Goody was forced to quit the 26.2mile run after completing 21 miles due to exhaustion, she later revealed that she only took part in four training sessions and had been binging on curries and booze before the race.
Race director, David Bedford has said of the reality TV star: "We, of course, recommend that everyone that takes part in the marathon trains, and to start by thinking I'm just going to walk round and not even be able to walk a marathon clearly shows she's done nothing and is not in good shape,"
"I don't know whether the marathon money that she was raising will be lost because she dropped out. That, of course, would be a great shame and would in some ways show that she should have taken the event more seriously."
