" It's overwhelming, I'm so stoked, " She told local media after crossing The finishing line in Melbourne.

" The turnout has been phenomenal and The fact that everyone was running with me, it made it even more special. "

Despite consuming between 5,000 and 6,000 calories A Day - About Three Times The average woman's needs - The nutritionist shed weight.

She suffered sunburn, blisters and aches, and jokes that She 's now been bitten by every insect under The Sun - ants, mosquitos, spiders and more.

She weathered constant brain fog and a pervasive body fatigue She says got harder and harder to shake each morning.

And by The Time She ran into Melbourne, her feet had swollen an entire shoe size and She 'd burned through ten pairs of runners.

She crossed The Finish Line to news She had raised almost doubled her original fundraising target.

Speaking to local Current Affairs programme The Project , Ms Murray-Bartlett said She had been overwhelmed by The support.

" I think it's gonna be a Big Night of celebrations - Well , a Big Two hours until I fall asleep anyway. "
