IT has been a long year for Steph Twell since her last marathon appearance.
Fourteen months on since her run at the Tokyo Olympics, Twell is gearing up to once again face 26.2 miles at today’s London Marathon and considering the setbacks she has encountered to get to this point, it’s not a moment too soon.
Since her appearance last summer in what was her third Olympic selection, Twell has been plagued with injury which caused her to miss this summer’s World Championships and Commonwealth Games. It has been a period that tested her patience in the extreme, the Scottish marathon record holder admits.
