Sophie Elliott completed the Chester Marathon with support from her cardiologist
A 'fit and well' mum who suddenly collapsed on her kitchen floor discovered she had a serious heart condition
Sophie said earlier in her life, there had been signs there was something wrong with her heart. She'd experienced chest pains as she was growing up, but these had been put down to panic attacks or anxiety. “When I got pregnant with Grace things took a really bad turn because my heart rate wouldn’t stay stable and one day unfortunately I fell on my bump,” Sophie said. “Grace was suffering from the stress of it, so they ended up delivering my daughter early.”
“I’ve done more training this time and I am a lot fitter because I am not six months post-baby like I was last time so I am hoping I will go quicker," she said. "Anything under 4 hours 30 would be really good – just a real achievement for me.”
