And how did it feel in comparison to other marathons?

Yeah, just...

That was your body...

Slower.

Slower.

Slower.

No, do you know what? I was really lucky, but that's the thing with pregnancy.

Has everyone been supportive?

Mm-hmm.

There was so much good energy.

And they were like, "Come on, Kelly.

You've got this." And, and then I was like, before you know it, I'm racing with the girl, like, the other competitor again, and we're back together.

And I'm like, oh.

And then that competitive side of me is like, "Come on, you're half, more than halfway in now.

Let's, like, just get to the finish and see what we can do." And then you have this other thing, you know, the mum strength already's [laughs] kicking in as well.

Talk us through the race.

She told the BBC's Sarah Dawkins what it was like.

Very emotional, to be honest.

What a day.

[laughs] It was chaos, crazy, in the best way possible, honestly.

Like, and I, and I knew going into this race, obviously, there was gonna be a lot of unknowns, more than normal, and that's okay.

Um, but just so, so grateful that I got through that today, and to do it, like, this far into pregnancy, I'm just, yeah, super grateful that, that I was able to do that today.

Do you think attitudes really are changing?

Yeah, I do.

How were you feeling at that point?

Yeah.

That one, honestly, every day has been so wildly different leading up to it.

I was like, I might...

No, I wake up one morning, absolutely not.

I'm not doing this.

This is, this is might be stupid.

How, in, in, in general, how have people reacted to you running while pregnant?
