A woman who only started taking marathon running seriously last year is now looking at becoming a part of Team GB.
Rachel Hodgkinson, 30, from Woolton, first started running when she was in university after joining the athletics union. At the time she says her "ultimate goal" was to run a 10k in Sefton Park. She carried on running and completing 5k's, 10k's and half marathons until she completed the Championships of France marathon in 2014 and finished in three hours and 30 minutes.
Even just one year ago Rachel was completing marathons at around the three hour mark before she decided to "take it seriously".
