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 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.
