Charlotte Purdue hopes to run 2:23 at the London Marathon
Going into the London Marathon on Sunday, Britain’s Charlotte Purdue has ex-GB athlete Mara Yamauchi’s marathon PB of 2:23 in her sights. When asked at a press conference on Thursday 30 September what pace she’ll be aiming to run on Sunday, Purdue said: ‘It’s very weather dependent, but obviously I’ve got that 2:23 in my head of Mara’s. But like I said, it’s very weather dependent, so I'll have to make the call with my coach.’
