More than 40,000 runners will be feeling pretty sore today after completing the London Marathon on Sunday."I started counting my steps and my head was gone, I think I lost sight in one eye," Hayley tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.Image copyrightHayley, who's 26 and works in the NHS, says she started to feel bad just after the half-way point.TV viewers and spectators on The Mall watched as Hayley approached the finish line at 26.
"To get to 20 miles and think I've still got another 10km to go - I genuinely didn't think I could finish.Despite crawling over the finishing line with the help of marathon marshals, Hayley still managed to beat her personal best time by three minutes. She crossed the line in 18th place and says it was the toughest thing - physically and mentally - she's ever had to do.
"We started too fast and I got carried away with the excitement of being in the elite race and all the excitement of London really.
Very courageous, well done for finishing. The relief, adrenaline & excitement must of kicked in. I hope you are recovering well. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the work you do, congratulations on the PB wear knee pads next year 😁
Serves you right. What do you expect? Self-imposed. Why push you body to the limit like that? When you are older perhaps you will learn. At least you got a bit of fame from it. Well done.
I think her body is trying tell her something🙁🧠
And
I thought I lost sight in my eyes just watching it but it turns out I’d just fallen asleep lol x
Not a joke, she might've survived a hit stroke. Great runner👏
Anything to get on tv
That’s just a remoaner trying to hold onto the EU...
It's great that these people want to run 26 miles but not to the detriment of their health.
Erm that quote is missing an I....
No people rights activists there trying to stop it
Well done you 🙏👍
Elite runner fails.

Still managed to beat her personal best by 3 mins? Is crawling a usual part of her running then?
I respect athletes but why do they put themselves through this?
Is this something to be proud of? She didn’t look after herself properly and suffered because of it. This isn’t inspirational, it’s silly. Be inspired by the people who paced themselves and completed without crawling.
Hope she is better today
Huge amounts of respect. Pure guts.
One pint too many.
This will be one of the sporting images of the year .Also good example to all youngsters that whether it be sporting endeavours ,exams or general life challenges sometimes it’s no pain no gain and never give up .
This image is crying out to be memed 🤣😂
mileswithhayley Well done keeping going 👍. My god though to put yourself through that though 😲
26.2 miles. 40 km. That's 10 times as much as my daily commute to uni.
My heart went out to her when she collapsed just before the line! The passion and determination to get herself over the time one way or the other was amazing! Well done Hayley! X
Bit dramatic.
Wow
