Albeit it's a more recent rendition this time.

Well done Rachel, she must have been much better prepared this time as i think she beat her last time by a lot, now she can concentrate on the run up to her wedding

It was only by about 12 minutes, actually, (according to her 2009 result, and she didn't do it last year). But it's still an improvement.

She beat her personal best - she did it in 5 hrs 45 minutes last time and this year 5hrs 32 mins 33 seconds. It would have been faster but she stopped to talk to us for a few minutes at the 18 mile point - she was feeling really sick but still wanted to go on. Poor little thing has real problems moving around at the moment - it's the lactic acid that has built up in her muscles.

Loving all the Hen weekend pictures, Rachel was looking great - I think my favourite was the Gladiator outfit!

Was the grape costume a compromise due to no cupcake?

Just started going out running again recently but those blister pictures after the marathon didn't do much for encouragement. Ouch!!

Julia from FB:

Rachel has been asked to compare the 'Cwmbran Big Event' in July. It's going to be a fun filled week with Rachel and Jay Coleman (from WAWWA) presenting on the finale day.

I'm sure Rachel's mother has said that Rachel, Kat and Mikey are in very regular contact with each other.

They are still close, Rachel is always contacting Mikey as well I believe... I don't know if she keeps in touch with anybody else, I know I wouldn't if I was her.

I think it's been said that a lot of the Whisper Club have now admitted that they were wrong about Rachel and are now Facebook friends with her. However, Luke still refuses to admit that he was wrong and hasn't been in contact with her for a while.

Better late then never I suppose... still can't forgive or condone their treatment and Davina's treatment towards her. Luke is a moron anyway, I have asked him numerous times on twitter why he doesn't think Rachel deserved to win, he never has an answer that makes sense.

I think that it's safe to say that Luke has never contacted Rachel. They only saw each other when they were involved in the same projects e.g. T4 Birthday Party or when BB HMs met up in London. In fact if you look back at BB9 footage you'll probably notice that Luke never seemed to actually talk to Rachel - he just talked a lot about her. lol

I never got Luke, at the start of the show you could sort of see he liked Rachel especially on the launch night they were very friendly with each other and a bit overly friendly... I just think he is very petty and jealous that Rachel didn't need the media to maintain a career.

He did seem very pleased to see her when she entered the house on Day 1. They obviously recognised one another from the auditions and ran up to each other excitedly and hugged. I don't remember the two of them talking on the first night after that though.

Then came, (as we all know), the bitching about her, saying that she was different in the auditions to how she was in the house - that she was nasty, argumentative and "silenced the whole room". Now, if Rachel had done that, (which I don't believe at all), then surely Luke would have disliked her from those stages. So why did he look really happy to see her on Day 1? I've never understood that. It seems very hypocritical.
