One fan was quick to ask for a health update, writing: "How's the Achilles tendonitis Naga? All gone?" To which, Naga replied: "Yes thank goodness x." Another follower remarked: "Sounds like a great day, enjoy."

A third post read: "I did a 9k run during the night before starting work. In training for the GNR but my body is wrecked. If I wasn't doing it for charity I probably would have quit."

The BBC presenter suffered from Achilles tendonitis, an injury caused by overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, which results in an extremely painful and inflamed muscle. It can take weeks or even months to heal after an Achilles injury.

"Haven't been able to run for weeks. Have really missed it, but because of injury have been sensible," Naga told fans back in June 2021.

Telling fans she had finally found a way to make a return to running, the star revealed: "At last I found a machine that means I can control speed when it's too hot to run outside (for me)."
