Title: My wife is insane - help if possible please :) Post by: KarmaDope on May 25, 2014, 12:18:28 AM Basically, as some of you may have seen via Facebook, Julie decided it would be a good idea to get into a competition at work last year and run a marathon with her boss. They picked the Liverpool Rock n Roll Marathon, which starts in approximately 8 hours.
Training was going ahead as normal and all was well until mid-January, when she tripped in the gym of all places and damaged her ankle. Quite badly. It took 14 weeks before she felt comfortable running on it. Needless to say the preparation for the marathon was not completed. The most she's ever run in one go is 9km. Tomorrow she has to run 26.2 miles. And she's doing it for charity. https://www.justgiving.com/julie-sharples/ Anything helps :) Title: Re: My wife is insane - help if possible please :) Post by: Doobs on May 25, 2014, 12:49:48 AM disappointing on so many levels

Well done Julie. Amazing achievement!! Title: Re: My wife is insane - help if possible please :) Post by: arbboy on May 25, 2014, 09:10:12 PM Truely incredible effort. Some people finish marathons in 6 hours with a full training programme and are over the moon.
