itemprop=description content=Aileen Raynos completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon in one hour, 55 minutes and four seconds despite swapping her trainers for a pair of wellies.
A woman who hopes she has set a world record for running a half marathon in wellies said she won’t be putting her boots back on any time soon while her feet recover.
“Normally the legs would hurt more because you push the muscles more, but my feet have been in pain. I don’t usually get blisters from running shoes.” She did three training runs, but said “you definitely start to feel something is not quite happy” after about six miles when the boots rubbed her little toes, and she suffered shin pain because of the lack of cushioning to absorb the impact of running.GWR told her the boots had to be rubber or PVC and could not be altered in any way, she said.
She joined Henfield Joggers and gained the confidence to increase her distance and enter races, including finishing the 2019 London Marathon in three hours, 49 minutes and four seconds.
