Jessica Warner-Judd reveals trauma therapy and depression before London Marathon

Athlete who collapsed on track in 2024 ready for London

Warner-Judd admits hitting ‘rock bottom’ after seizure

There are sporting comebacks. And then there is Jessica Warner-Judd’s remarkable return from a focal seizure during the 10,000m at the European Championships in 2024.

Those of us in Rome that night watched Warner-Judd wander distressingly across the track with 600m to go before collapsing and being carried off and sedated. What we didn’t see was what followed: the trauma therapy, depression and fears she would never run again.
