A young woman who died in the London Marathon was using a caffeine supplement she bought online, an inquest has heard.
Claire Squires, 30, collapsed and died close to the finish line last April.
Her boyfriend, Simon Van Herrewage, has told the inquest that she put the supplement which was "like strong caffeine" in her water bottle during the marathon.
Mr Van Herrewage arrives at the inquest Mr Van Herrewage also said Miss Squires had been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat by an acupuncturist.
But Miss Squires' GP told the inquest that she never went to see him with concerns over her heartbeat.
The inquest is being held at Southwark Coroner's Court in London.
The hairdresser from North Kilworth, Leicestershire, aimed to raise £500 for Samaritans but the total surged to more than £1m on news of her death.
Miss Squires had been a keen fundraiser for Samaritans in support of her mother, Cilla, who has been a volunteer with the organisation for the past 24 years.
The charity has since worked with Miss Squires' mother to develop The Claire Squires Fund - a programme of projects that reflect how she would have wanted the money to be used.
Miss Squires was the 11th runner to die since the London Marathon began in 1981.
She collapsed one bend away from the finish line of the 26.2 mile course.
