After a breakthrough win and European U23 record at Manchester Marathon in 2022, Becky Briggs suffered bi-lateral stress fractures in the sacrum, putting her out of the sport for 9 months. Two years on since her last marathon, she returns to London in the hope of putting things right.

Big ups to Becky for talking so openly about everything. A great first for the TDP channel. We hope you agree🤘🏻

[@the.distanceproject]

agree

[@barboratite]

yes, always good to have this said out loud!! hope all the youngsters see this, get the message and fuel well. I've been there, too (although not as deep in as Becky)

[@cg7563]

Very brave to be so open and honest about past marathon builds, Becky. You are a credit to British running and sending you nothing but best wishes for Sunday - we will all be cheering you on!

[@the.distanceproject]

👊🏻🇬🇧

[@tilda3141]

I'm so happy to see more runners talk about these kinda issues, maybe we can help the younger generation stay healthier and happier in their sports

[@the.distanceproject]

Agreed!
