Carol Kirkwood and her refusal to run for a sports campaign

Carol Kirkwood, 56 had done a lot of daring stunts and sports. She flew with the Red Arrows and jumped out of an airplane with the Red Devils.

But despite being part of such major and risky adventurous sports, Carol does not feel it okay to run for the BBC Sports Initiative Get Inspired. She had said that she would not be taking part in this exercise.

To make her stand clear, Carol signed up for the sports campaign BBC but made it known to them that she would do everything except running.

She said:

“I signed up saying that I’d do anything but running.”

The reason for Carol Kirkwood’s refusal to run

Carol was assigned to run the BBC Sports Initiative Get Inspired. But it is learned that Carol has point blank refused it. The reason is her ample cleavage.

She revealed to Essential Surrey and SW London in 2016:

“But that’s exactly what they gave me, insisting that it would present a genuine challenge.”

She added:

“’No’, I replied ‘I’ve got boobs’ This isn’t going to be nice.”

But Carol Kirkwood gives it a chance….

Carol later decided to give it a shot and began to follow the Public Health England app Couch to 5k along with a friend of hers. In a couple of weeks, she and her friend were a bit relaxed and eased into it.

They initially ran for 5 minutes. Gradually they increased their limit and stretched it to 10 minutes and later to 15 minutes. Now they can run non-stop for 25 minutes. Now Carol cannot resist running.

She said:

“I run almost daily in our beautiful Berkshire countryside.”

She added:

“Nobody ever regrets exercising because you are always feel better for it. Even if your body shape isn’t changing, it’s benefitting your lungs, heart, and bones.”

Carol Kirkwood’s time on Strictly Come Dancing

Carol had been part of the British show Strictly Come Dancing. She had performed and danced on the show but never outside of the show. She revealed:

“None of my friends really do, but I certainly have a boogie if I go for a party.”

Carol’s professional partner on the show was Pasha Kovalev and this was on series 13 of the dance contest show. Carol always was full of praise for her partner and never failed to say lovely things about him. But she was uncomfortable getting too close to the Russian dancer.

She said:

“When you are not used to sticking your legs around somebody’s waist, it is quite embarrassing.
“I was blushing constantly in the first couple of weeks. ‘Oh my goodness’ I did say to him.”
