London Marathon 2009

The London Marathon this year was run by 2 Ireland Fitness people, both who suffered injuried and over came them with some Sports Therapy to successfully complete this iconic event.  Karen Jenner and Emma Dibbs both trained very hard for this event. 

Emma ran for the charity The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust and did very well and had to over come some last minute injuries but did so and battled through well.

Karen after waiting for 5 years to gain entry to the London Marathonwas devasted when she sustained shin splints before Christmas and had to battle back from a position of not being able to run at all to completing the marathon in a quicker time than she managed 20 years previous, a real testament to great and consistant hard work from her.

Karen enjoyed the experience even more because she had built her training up so well and in the process raised lots of money for Children with Luekemia.

Karen has already applied for next year and there is a rumour of maybe another one this year!!

Well Done Karen and Emma
