AS thousands of you nervously count down the days until the Oxford Half Marathon on Sunday, imagine the nervousness Jenni Davies feels.

Not only is she facing 13.1 miles for her event, she is planning to do it on her space hopper for charity.

“It’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever done physically, and it gives you proper thigh burn,” she says.

Hopefully, Jenni’s long hop will help make the prospect of running our fair city’s streets a little less imposing for the rest.
