We could hardly believe it either, but Victoria Beckham is rumoured to be secretly training to run the NY marathon.

According to Perez Hilton, Posh has been taking fitness tips from her footie ace husband, David, and is set to follow in the footsteps of her friend Katie Holmes, who completed the 26-mile NY marathon on 4 November last year in 5 and a half hours.

A source close to the family said that her training was 'meant to be a big secret,' but that if she doesn't feel ready for the race this Sunday, 'she's planning to do the one in Los Angeles in February next year.'

And, despite Victoria denying any plans to expand her family, the source added: 'She wants to get the run out of the way because once she gets pregnant it'll be ages before she has the opportunity again.'

For some reason, we can't really imagine Victoria actually doing it, but we'll be excited to see if she does.

OMG, her legs will snap after about 200 yards.

Perhaps they could re-schedule the New York marathon to 1st April 2009?
Or, failing that, the LA one?

I think she'd need to start eating properly in order to do something like that. She may be thin but all her fad dieting is incredibly unhealthy. She wouldn't have the stamina to last, all she does is potter about in heels to the shops.

I think you are wrong.. Look at Zola Budd and Paula Radcliffe. Very slim women make good runners. Posh has said recently that running in the gym every day is her latest fad so I reckon those critics should try it themselves..you wouldn't poke fun at a fatty and say "pavement might shake!"
