She added: "I have gone through pots of Vaseline and on Sunday I was away. I was tapering and had a quick 10k to do.
'I panicked because I left my Vaseline at home so I went without. Nothing prepares you for the chaffing! I was bleeding after 10k."
And she also revealed that having done an increasing number of physically exerting challenges with Jeremy recently, the London Marathon felt like the ideal next step for the couple.
She said: "We were both pretty strong anyway but this has definitely made us more dynamic.
"After a 25km run you feel invincible. We love to train hard and keep that up all year.
"When we did Race Across the World we had to climb a volcano in the
snow
for the final Episode.
"We had spent Christmas in the Alps hiking mountains in the snow so we were weirdly prepared mentally to tackle that!
"We train a lot just to prepare ourselves for life in general you never know in our job what you're going to be asked to do next. "
"This has been brilliant because we are in control of our training and performance. With TV it's never entirely down to you what the outcome will be.
"With the Marathon it's all on us and it's exciting we can't wait."

Here's what you need to know about Ulcerative Colitis.. Colitis is a condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed. The colon is the large intestine, or bowel, and the rectum is the end of the bowel where stools are stored. Ulcers can develop on the colon's lining and bleed and produce pus. Ulcerative colitis is a form of colitis that is caused by autoimmune inflammation (the body attacking itself), whereas colitis can be caused by a number of factors including infection. Ulcerative colitis is similar to another condition which causes inflammation of the gut - Crohn's disease. Symptoms can often be very mild for weeks or months but flare ups with extreme symptoms can cause a lot of pain and trouble for sufferers.
