Jade Goody admits marathon confusion

Jade Goody has admitted that she didn't finish the London Marathon because she didn't know how long a mile is.
The Big Brother celebrity attempted to run the 26-mile long course, but collapsed after only 21 miles of it and had to be treated for exhaustion.
She told This Morning the reason why she couldn't finish the course: "I don't really understand miles. I didn't actually know how far it was going to be."
"I'll be honest, I didn't take it seriously which is really bad of me because there's people out there who actually want to do the marathon," she said.
"I didn't realise how much commitment the marathon was. I had four training sessions, that's all I did. At most I could run half an hour on a treadmill," Goody said.
"I was expecting to do five miles, not even more than that, so I think I did extremely well to get to 21 miles."
