Anna Goncalves, who spoke to the JEP yesterday after completing her fifth marathon, said that she was feeling good and her leg muscles were doing ‘amazingly well’.

She has completed each 26.2-mile challenge so far in under four hours and says that the last two ‘will be a piece of cake’.

Her only setback came on Thursday when she was stung by a wasp five miles from the finish.

Anna is running to raise funds for Headway and to raise awareness of the brain injury charity. To make a donation visit http://www.justgiving.com/A-Goncalves0
