Lenora Crichlow has revealed that training for her role as an athlete in Fast Girls was "tough".
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail she said: "I used to be sporty and played netball and football but this was before the boobs and hips arrived and slowed me down.
"I was amazed to get the part, but then they sent me on a really tough six-week fitness regime to get me into proper shape.
"I jumped at the chance but had no idea just how intense it would be."
The actress revealed that she picked up a few injuries along the way during training saying: "On the first day of filming the running, I suffered two stress fractures in my ankles.
"I was utterly devastated and felt I'd let everyone down. I'd only been training six weeks so I can imagine how real athletes must feel when this happens after four years' training."=
"In real competition real athletes have none of this [editing] backup. Now I have so much respect for them. I'll be watching the Olympics with different eyes."
