Bride-to-be pounds 7 beers at pub crawl, stays out til 3 am at her Bachelorette party, wakes up finishes 3rd in marathon

Not as striking to me as the use of the term “hen do weekend” in the article, with which I’d been unfamiliar.

Congrats to her on the race, the hangover recovery, and the impending wedding.

Yes, it’s the weekend of laissez faire avian fornication. The British are weird that way. I’ve heard the Scots even do goats.

Good story, but 20 mins + off her PR

Or reference the fact that sub 3 hours is really good or that her PB is sub elite and is actually the second fastest UK female marathon time this year.

Congratulations on her marathon performance.

I absolutely don’t understand the point of publicizing being hungover as if that is a good or bragworthy thing. It’s just stupid. The fact that she’s going to get married in a month seems altogether irrelevant to put in the headline.

I can't imagine running a marathon hungover. It would be horrendous. It's unseasonably hot here as well.

I used to use my local lake perimeter loop as my hangover cure in college. The first lap was truly awful but after enduring it then the toxic sweat began to pour out and after finishing I felt totally detoxed if tired.

But that was only 5k. Thon is another level. Congrats to her that should be an LR classic.

Let's hope this woman is marrrying a letsrunner as she appears to be a keeper.

Brighton Marathon: Hungover bride-to-be comes third in race - BBC News

Emily Marchant, 34, was determined to do something "memorable and different" for her hen do.

She was so hung over that she missed the first thread on this.

Running with a hangover ,pretty much standard practice here in Zim.

no, marry me,

Probably not…

”She crossed the final 100 metres holding an inflatable doll with a picture of her partner, Charlotte, attached to it”

7 drinks? absolute rookie numbers. she was in bed by 3, thats standard pre-race antics in England before an easy run

meh, wearing cheater shoes

This has nothing on turning up to Sunday league absolutely steaming and realising you're going to be kicked in the air for 90 minutes

You all not read the article? She is lesbian. Married her partner Charlotte.

If she was marrying charlie I would have questions. What else was she up to at the party? After the party? The weeks leading up to the marriage? If it's the things I've seen and experienced in life she would be having her last funsies with chad.

Great article, but, yeah, totally skips over the fact that she ran a 2:36.52 marathon in February and that she had a PhD and is a university lecturer, not to mention that she has won her age group at Iron Man.

I would agree that the article has a bit of a glorification of drinking angle to it, but since she is a teacher and was celebrating her last night of freedom, I think it is all good.

The story actually reminds me a bit of Sammy Wanjiru, the 2008 Beijing Olympic champion who sadly died at 24, drunk, after his wife caught him with another woman and he fell jumping out his second story window. Hopefully Dr. Emily's new wife keeps her in check.
