83-year-old Grandmother training for the London marathon!

Jean Harcourt is 83-years-old, this great-grandmother has decided to train for the London marathon. Jean hasn’t chosen to do a marathon to tick it off a list or feel smug about her accomplishments. She decided to start training as a way to cope with the sudden death of her brother Danny, who passed away of a heart attack in October 2016. After reading an article that advised doing something that seems impossible to help with the loss of a loved one, Jean settled on a marathon, having run one 14 years before and thought ‘never again’. She started training in June last year, starting by jogging for just a minute a day. She’s now running 36 miles a week. (02/20/2018) Views: 1,786 ⚡AMP
