Kelly Brook Endures Painful Injuries During London Marathon Training

Kelly Brook, 45, has revealed the intense challenges she faced while training for the London Marathon, including painful chafing and bleeding from long runs, which she managed by relying on Vaseline. Despite only being able to run 2-3km before Christmas, she now considers 7km a warm-up, crediting steady progress to months of dedicated training since October. Brook is running the marathon alongside her husband, Jeremy Parisi, whom she describes as both a supportive and competitive partner, often acting as her 'carer' during runs. Their joint training has made them a stronger, more dynamic couple, with Brook noting that after a 25km run, she feels invincible. She also highlights the mental health benefits of running and how physical challenges have prepared them for unexpected demands in their careers. Brook will be joining thousands of runners, including other celebrities, and says that whatever happens on race day, the journey has already transformed her fitness and confidence.
