Goody confused about marathon length
Former 'Big Brother' star Jade Goody has admitted that she only agreed to run the London Marathon for charity because she didn't know how long a mile was.
Goody collapsed after running 21 miles of the 26-mile race and was treated for exhaustion afterwards.
Speaking on television show 'This Morning', she said: "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."
