Jess Trengove

[darkhorse72 1,782]

Just watching Jess run the Marathon in Glasgow.

Possibility for 3rd, these two Kenyan's 1 and 2 are too far ahead.

She won bronze! Fantastic effort from Jess!

Glad Jack was there to see it.

[dazzledavey36 49,738]

awesome effort

[darkhorse72 1,782]

Yep.. easy run to the line with a big smile...she and Viney dating yet

[chook fowler 18,555]

Wonder what she'd be like in the midfield

[Earl Hood 5,870]

And I think we got gold in the men's marathon? Where were the Kenyans?

No excuses for Jack Trengove not to be the fittest player in the AFL.

(What someone had to say it).

I think we are all hoping his past 2 ordinary seasons have been because of an undiagnosed foot problem thats now hopefully fixed. If he can get back to the player he was and was promising to be in 2011, it will be a huge boost for us

and well done Jess

top effort, and she's only run a handful of marathons

[Goodvibes 3,596]

I'm worried about her acceleration.

In second place, but possibly the Comm games doesn't mean much for them. Not when they have Olympic, World Champ and fame/money on the line in winning some of the worlds more lucrative marathons.

My (limited) understanding on marathons is you can only run so many per 6 months/year as they take such a toll. A bit like horse racing you really have to set yourself for particular races as grand finals.

Which is probably why Trengove did such a good job as she had a foot injury and did really well at the last world champs. She wasn't far behind the female Kenyans so lets hope she can bridge the gap and maybe do something amazing in Rio.

Go you good thing! Fantastic effort Jess. Running beautifully right to the end and finishing with a PB! Not to mention a Bronze medal.

And congrats also to Micheal Shelley for winning Gold in the men's marathon.

Great day for Australian marathon runners.

I'm worried about her acceleration.

I'm sure she used to run so much faster in years gone by.

Great effort by Jess - two very talented siblings.

[Robbie57 1,996]

Brilliant effort.

[Pennant St Dee 11,751]

Great effort Jess and agree with one of the previous posters a bit of the old East German breeding method wouldn't go amiss, another Viney under the FS coming from good stock

[Chook 14,647]

I'm worried about her acceleration.

I think over the course of 42 km she can probably make it to top speed somewhere along the way.

[P-man 13,309]

Just saw the footage of her reaction after the win. Fantastic Stuff. Well deserved.

Hopefully her brother watching on gained a little inspiration.

Fantastic. I didn't know it was on... well done to Jess Trengove, & family.

[Tatu 416]

Can we claim jess's victory as our own, because of Jack? Its weird how I have feelings of pride, like we won something...lol... Congrats to the Trengove's!!

There's already been cheap shots at Jack here about his running...smh... Jeez... I'm sure there will be more, but really give it a rest... Jack has been playing with stress fractures in his foot for almost two years... The club should have this picked up earlier, they are at fault here... Not Jack... Its half arsed development and half arsed rehab, down at our club... Lol..

[Redleg 38,432]

Well done Jess, a great effort.

[mauriesy 6,907]

I'm worried about her acceleration.

I'm more worried about the size of her thighs.

Well done Jess. And a good time to boot.

Fantastic news - well done Jess. I aspired to complete a marathon but only ever finished a half. Had foot surgery three years ago and advised never to run again. Must be a Melbourne thing!

Sorry to hear about your foot Jane. Old age stopped my running career but I have found a great substitute in cycling( leisurely pace of course). Give it a go if you already haven't done so. Go Demons!!
