    Oh that's inevitable,isn't it? But fair play to Katie, she didn't have to do it, and the fact she hobbled to the end, despite her poorly knee, is remarkable. www.visioncharity.co.uk are pretty chuffed with her.

    I agree, they did well. I ran Race for Life which was only 5km, hated every second of it but made sure I ran it. No way could I do 26.1 miles and def not with a knee injury!
    Its good to see celebs getting out there and doing something for others for a change. Mind you looking at these photos I wonder what Kate Lawlers reason was? http://showbiz.sky.com/jordans-marathon-sesh

    That time is pathetic. Knee injury my arse. She just didn't want to actually compete with the likes of Nell McAndew who trained properly for the event.

    Maybe she was more interested in the money raised than the time she got. Who cares how long it takes as long as they are doing it in the first place!

    I took them 7 hours to travel 26 miles, so that's 3.7 mph. Walking speed is about 4mph, so rather than a marathon it was just a really long walk.

    Me too Fred. I'm doing race for life in May and THAT will probably take me 7 hours:D
    The time it took is NOT important, the money raised for charity IS. I wish people would give her a bit of credit! And I don't even like the woman.

    Well said Tweety:) She's a glamour model not an athlete and at least she got up off her @rse and did it!

    Do you know what some people make me laugh saying things like the time is Pathetic etc etc

    Im sorry but good on her !!! You can clearly see from this video she was struggling with her knee - she could barely walk yet she starts to try and run
    So what if it took her bloudy seven hours she completed it / what where you doing sitting on your arse all day ??

    Considering she's not at 100% fitness, I think Katie did excellently and well done to her for raising so much money.

    At her normal walking pace, my 42 year old unfit wife could get round faster.

    Big deal, Jordan :rolleyes:

    Oh, and said unfit wife raises money every year for Cancer Research on "Race for Life".

    I trust you could do it yourself then? And you have no idea of what time your wife could do, guessing doesn't count! I wonder whether those that did it on Sunday, walking and running, would say it was no big deal!

    As my Mum used to say "Its not the winning its the taking part". It does not matter how long it takes, you are raising money for charity, and I admire anyone who finishes even if its the next day Or in my case would probably be week later. Good luck when you run in May:)

    When I RUN in May????? When I walk very slowly;) (I'm going to see if I can borrow a baby in a pram so I have an excuse not to run!!!!):D

    Well, looking at those photos Lawler clearly saw it as a chance to get her kit off... and perhaps get some more lads mag work??! That being said, she probably did raise a lot of money for a good cause. Can't blame her for trying to kill two birds with one stone I guess! She looked like she handled this year's race a lot better than last year's judging by the post- race pics!

    OK, I own up!

    I started this thread a bit tongue in cheek to see whether some people wouldn't even give her credit when it was really due, and lets say that I wasn't disappointed.
    I have no feelings for Jordan / Katie Price (and sometimes when I see a headline I have to check whether it is about the country or the bimbo), but it is unfortunately well within the realms of belief that some people are so blinded by their dislike that they won't accept she can do something good.

    She did a good job last weekend (much better than St Jade's attempt), so give her credit when it's due.

    She did have a knee injury, she's been struggling with it for a while.

    Yes, she has knackered her knee quite badly - so the fact she actually completed the marathon shows her in a good light. I'm certainly not a fan, but the fact she's drawn attention to a little known charity and raised a ton of money for them is a good thing, and she must be applauded for that.

    Well done to those that ran the marathon last week. Unfortunately though we never know what Jordan's motives are, was it money for charity or was it getting in the papers for something else and getting paid a packet for interviews about it? I really don't know. To me, she's always come across as manipulative and really quite heartless, so I don't know.

    A friend of a friend completed the marathon in 5 hours. Well done her.

    I applaud her efforts for raising money for charity, but she turns it round to be about her and that's unfortunate and frankly, unforgivable.

    it's all too typical as well, she should be considered guilty until proved otherwise..she has so much previous for being a self serving moo-bag:p
