Sirens said:Collapes during marathon
I didn't even know she was doing it til someone said they saw her dragging her fat arse round the course yesterday looking a right state
Apparently the only training she'd done was a couple of 30 minute runs on the treadmill
I find it really annoying that she even entered, so many people want to do the marathon for a good cause and take the training etc really seriously but get turned away cos it's always so over-subscribed whereas that fat munter has taken someone's place who would have been a lot worthier competitor than her I think you're all being a bit harsh.
She was taking part with massive sponsorship for the NSPCC and she covered 18 miles before collapsing while the rest of our munting arses were laying in bed tending our hangovers.
She'll still raise a fair bit of money i expect and awareness for the cause, where's the big deal?

Stuie I was speaking as someone who organised a team of 42 for a charity. (I spent most of yesterday looking after them once they had finished the race)
I had to turn away loads of people who wanted to join our team because we couldn't get places for them, so I find people who take places but them can't be bothered to do any work for it quite frustrating.Its also extremely dangerous to undertake something like that without doing proper training. Each year quite a few people end up having strokes or even dying because they haven't trained properly.

in a way though she has shown that the marathon is something that not just anybody can do - giving further credance to those that completed it!
agreed though, she should have trained and taken it more seriously - maybe she got it confused with the race for life thing which is a lot shorter
I just think if it was anyone else everyone would be like 'Oh well, at least she tried' but because it's Jade Goody everyone is ready to jump on her, like always.
I agree she obviously wasn't in optimum physical condition, but she has been training, i've seen her papped in mags with her trainer. And she says stupid things, thats how everyone even knows who she is.
Give the girl a break.

I think it would be different if she'd trained as well as she could for the race, prepared her best, but only managed 18 miles. For that I'd give her a clap and say Good on her, she tried her best, but she did actually come out and say something like she only trained once or twice because she found it "boring".
Although allegedly she was on hospital over Easter because of a virus, so that cant have helped.

Well done Lou's bro
We saw a few people with medals on yesterday afternoon who'd obviously completed it and they were sat in the pub, I was like OMG if I'd just run 26 miles I think I'd be on a life-support machine and def not in the pub
