Jennifer took up running two years ago after she broke up with her three-year-old daughter’s father.
She said: “I found it hard to get back on my feet. Since then running has been my constant. It has been my focus to better myself. It’s helped me find freedom in my thoughts and focus at a time that was hard.
“You never know what life of going to throw at you and running definitely helped me feel myself again. I could set goals and achieve them whilst juggling work and raising my daughter.

“I hope my journey of training and running the London Marathon can inspire others to do the same.”
“Training for the marathon will test all I have learnt about myself and my running capabilities. I’m looking forward to my training journey and the big day itself on April 26.”
