Alongside the smiling photo, Harry wrote: "I absolute LOVE these compression boots! Especially after yesterday! Recovery cheat code!
"I'll be wearing the medal most of the week."
On Sunday, Harry was full of emotion after completing 26 miles in hot conditions.
He shared a photo of him in an orange vest with sweat beads rolling down his face.
He wrote: "Wow that was brutal! The heat was intense.
"I knew at around 14k the sub 3 wasn't happening.
"I went through half way at 1:30 and then the second half was one hell of a grind.
"I'm more proud of my 1:45 second half because every part of me wanted to stop and walk.

"I was running with my eyes closed at certain points! Definitely the hardest of the six marathons I've done.
"Thinking of Children's Trust during the difficult times and all of you that have donated helped pull me through too."
Harry then praised his wife Izzy "for supporting me all the way as always".
He also shared an emotional moment with his mum after finishing the race and thanked her for "always supporting him".
The musician and drummer also shared a shout out to TV presenter Joel Dommett, who fainted while running the London Marathon and woke up in an ambulance.
Harry added: "Joel Dommett you legend for finishing considering what you went through.
"Love our enthusiasm at the beginning, we had no idea what was coming."
The Masked Singer host was taking on the gruelling 26.2-mile London Marathon for the second year running.
But things took a dramatic turn at mile 17 when he collapsed and woke up in the back of an ambulance.
He was supported by his wife Hannah and little boy Wilde, and he thanked the medics who took care of him.
Sharing his day with fans, Joel, 39, said: 'Not the race I expected!
'I fainted at mile 17 – don't really remember much but I woke up in an ambulance!
'Thanks to Frankie and Barry for being amazing.'
Despite the scare, a determined Joel didn't throw in the towel.
He added: 'I really wanted to finish it. After a few hours my pulse was back and I got going again at a very different pace but really got to soak it all in. Proud of myself for finishing.'
And he wasn't short of celebrity support.
McFly's Harry replied to his post: 'That is a heroic effort mate! You were not in a good way when I saw you! Well done for getting back out and finishing. Huge respect!'
Adventurer Bear Grylls gave Joel a virtual fist bump, adding: 'Never give up! Well done.'
Snowboarder Aimee Fuller also praised his grit, saying: 'Unreal. Well done – would have stopped!'
The London Marathon, one of the world's biggest long-distance races, sees thousands of runners hit the capital's streets each April, raising millions for charity.
The race was won by Kenyan novice Sabastian Sawe, while Ethiopia's Tigst Assefa broke the women's-only world record,
Joe Wicks, Alexandra Burke, and Kelly Brook were also among the other famous faces running the course.

Channel 4 insist they are 'proud' to show Bonnie Blue documentary
Bonnie Blue at the launch of her Channel 4 documentary (Image: Edward Ed Gleave) Channel 4 has defended the decision to make a documentary about online porn star Bonnie Blue - insisting it is 'proud' of the film and that is wants to 'stimulate debate". Viewers tuning in to watch 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story this week will receive an on air warning about the content before the documentary airs at 10pm. It features multiple scenes of graphic sex not normally seen on TV. Tia Billinger uses the stage name Bonnie Blue and invites men to have sex with her which she films and makes money from online. She is also known for angering and abusing other women online, including by suggesting she likes to sleep with married men. In January she caused social media outrage by announcing she'd slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. Channel 4 insist they are 'proud' to show Bonnie Blue documentary (Image: Instagram/bonnie_blue_xo) The Channel 4 documentary's crew and director rarely question her about the abuse she gives to other women and her financial claims of earning millions each month also go unquestioned or unproven on screen. She also uses other younger girls to make one film and they say they are not being paid, despite the fact Tia would make thousands from the film. Aside from Tia expressing some fears about walking in public alone, the tone is largely celebratory. Asked about their decision to broadcast the documentary, Channel 4 told the Mirror: 'Tia Billinger, via her stage name Bonnie Blue, has gained worldwide attention and millions of pounds in the last year. 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is an observational documentary in which director Victoria Silver follows Tia over the course of six months. The film questions Tia's methods and the divisive style of her social media and hears from colleagues and collaborators in order to understand her polarising business model. "Part of Channel 4's remit is to reflect modern Britain and stimulate debate amongst viewers, and a film such as this, exploring changing attitudes to sex, success, porn, and feminism in an ever-evolving online world is an important addition to those conversations. 'Channel 4 has a track record of programmes that examine the porn industry from a variety of perspectives. In the last two years we have broadcast programmes such as Sex Actually with Alice Levine that looked at a range of sexual experiences, while OnlyFans Got Me Fired: Untold and Confessions of a Cam Girl showed the personal cost of porn for content creators.' They also insisted the sections of the documentary showing Bonnie having sex multiple times across the documentary was necessary. They added: 'Careful consideration has been given to the content and the way in which it is included. The explicit content in the documentary is editorially justified and provides essential context; making pornographic content is Bonnie's job, and this film is about her work and the response to it. Crucially, the content is presented in a non-gratuitous manner and viewers will be alerted of the sexual content in a programme warning at the start to ensure they understand from the outset the nature of the programme.' Journalists were shown the film at a screening at Channel 4 last week attended by Tia, where even she expressed surprise at how many sex scenes 'were in there'. Introducing the film, Commissioning Editor Tim Hancock said before the screening: 'I believe it is Channel 4's job to tell stories like this, trying to get behind the truth of the headlines. We film real stories in real time. We are very proud to do films like this.' Asked why there was so much porn in the documentary and if she was braced for complaints, director Victoria Silver said: 'I had to explain to her(Tia) if I was making a film about a musician or some kind of other performer their work would be in there. I think it is important to see what she does.' * 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is on Channel 4 on Tuesday night at 10pm.

Kerry Katona says she's 'failing' as a single mum - 'I've never done enough'
Kerry Katona has admitted she feels like she's constantly 'failing' as a single mum of five (Image: kerrykatona7/Instagram) Kerry Katona has opened up about her struggles as a mum, admitting that she constantly feels as though she's 'failing' to raise her brood. The former singer is a mum to Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22, who she shares with first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 18, and Max, 17, whose father is her ex Mark Croft and youngest daughter, DJ, ten, who she welcomed with late spouse George Kay. Writing in her weekly New! Magazine column, Kerry sent her support to Fearne Cotton, who recently opened up about feeling 'overwhelmed' as a single mum since splitting from her husband Jesse Wood. Comparing her own experience with parenthood, Kerry wrote: "I saw Fearne Cotton open up recently about how she feels 'overwhelmed' as a single mum at times. "Truth is, us mums all feel like that sometimes. Being a single mum is the hardest thing I've done in my life, and you can feel like you're failing every day." Kerry, who is a mum to four daughters and one son, says it's the 'hardest job she's ever done' (Image: INSTAGRAM) Kerry continued: "You never feel like you've done enough, especially with multiple children who have different needs. But, if your kids have a roof over their heads and food to eat, they're absolutely fine. We need to go easier on ourselves. Fearne is doing a fantastic job and needs to remember that." The comments come after Fearne admitted she felt she was "dropping a lot of balls" as a single mum while recently appearing on Women's Health magazine's new podcast, Just As Well. "I had nothing the kids liked for breakfast on Monday, nothing. I had cereal, but no milk. I had butter, but no bread. I tried to make pancakes, I had no maple syrup. It is like an absolute s**t show," Fearne began. She continued, "So I'm just dropping lots of balls constantly and never feeling like I'm doing anything particularly well. But enjoying most of it. I would say enjoying most of it." Fearne added that parenthood also has her "crying in her car" at times. Fearne Cotton split from her husband Jesse Wood in December (Image:) Fearne split from her husband of ten years in December, sharing the news in a statement to X which read: "It is with a heavy heart that | let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time". During their time together, the couple - who married in 2014 - welcomed two children - Rex and Honey - and said their priority will always remain on the pair, as well as Jesse's two older kids, Arthur and Lola.

Kelly issues response to doubters after Euro 2025-winning penalty
The 27-year-old scored the decisive spot-kick for England to win the shootout 3-1 as scores remained level at 1-1 against Spain after extra-time. Kelly had come on for the injured Lauren James after 40 minutes and delivered a pinpoint cross to assist Alessia Russo for the equaliser in the second half. It was yet another decisive impact at Euro 2025 from Kelly, who has seen her fortunes transform since joining Arsenal on loan in January this year. 'There were a lot of tears at full-time, especially when I saw my family because those were the people that got me through those tough dark moments,' she reflected. 'That's a story to tell someone that experiences something similar, tough times don't last. 'Just around the corner was a Champions League final, won that. Then a Euros final, won that. Thank you to everyone that wrote me off, I'm grateful." "England are crowned queens of European football again!" 😍 Re-live it all! 👇🍿 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 27, 2025 Having started the domestic season at Manchester City, Kelly found herself outcast from the squad and struggling to get minutes even as a substitute. But a post on her Instagram story in January stating she wanted to be 'happy again' forced a loan move to Arsenal on deadline day. Having been dropped by England, the following months saw her earn a starting spot in north London and force her way back into favour with Sarina Wiegman, for whom she had plenty of praise. 'She's bloody amazing. She's an incredible woman, what she's done for this country, we should all be so grateful for,' said Kelly. 'What she's done for me individually, she gave me hope when I probably didn't have any. She gave me an opportunity to represent my country again. I knew that I had to get game time and representing England is never a given. "But what she's done for the women's game, not just in England, in the Netherlands she's done it, she's taken it to a whole other level. 'The work doesn't go unnoticed from the staff behind her, they're incredible people and I'm so grateful to have worked with such amazing staff members.' And the Arsenal forward has truly repaid Wiegman's faith in her this tournament. Her 78th-minute introduction in the quarter-finals against Sweden proved decisive as she delivered an assist just over 60 seconds after coming on, before setting up the equaliser just two minutes after that as England drew 2-2. In the semi-finals, too, Kelly scored the winner to send England through to the final and while her introduction came far earlier at St. Jakob Park against Spain, her impact was not reduced. With a knack for delivering in the biggest moments, having scored the winner at Wembley in 2022, she once more stepped up with an assist for the equaliser and a match-winning penalty fired into the top left hand corner. Having done it all before, her celebration was as cool as it gets for a championship winning goal, but the moment still meant everything to the forward who has capped off a fairytale story of redemption. 'I just came onto the pitch and wanted to make something happen. I know Less [Russo]'s strengths and just wanted to put the ball on her head,' Kelly reflected. 'Of course, taking the penalty, I actually missed three penalties in training yesterday but the belief in the squad, in the whole 23 players and the staff members to get us through this tournament. 'I'm really proud to be English right now and I'm proud to be part of an amazing group of girls.'
