Jade Goody's Marathon Performance Criticised

...more Big Brother 10 »

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."

I think she did a good job, since I would probably have given up after 2 miles never mind 21 of them! And that would have been with training. Congratulations on how far she got.
