EILISH MCCOLGAN runs in London
EILISH MCCOLGAN is a runner. He was a British champion at 1500 m and a half marathon. He won the European Championship Medals 3K, 5K and 10K. And returning to eleven years, he was the work of games in the Steeplechase Final. These weekends work in London Marathon.
He is the daughter of two athletes, Peter and Liz McKolgan, and constantly asks about comparisons with his mother. The first time I asked him, he distracted the question “I do steeplechase, so it’s hard to compare.” Now, when he runs the London Marathon, who won Liz in 1996, it is more difficult to compare comparisons.
I greeted him for a few years, I asked him to interview me with an email, he gave me an email to get rid of the journalist, then do not answer. No elish, the same day the answer suggesting the date. Excellent interview.
He had to nominate the London marathon in 2023, but he had to leave due to his knee injury. In 2024, he ran two half marathons, as well as 10K in European Championships, as well as at the Paris Olympics.
This week he recalled London’s first memory “About 6-year-old hospitality tent is sitting on a small TV screen, not really realizing that my mother was in the London Marathon.”

He added that he grows that he thought “One day I will do it with the masses and I will do it for fun. He also reminded of participating in the mini-London marathon. What I remember as a Hogwarts-looking building (Harry Potter), but I’m pretty sure it was just a student accommodation. I was crazy at the time.
Asked how he prepared the marathon, he said:
“It simply came to our notice then. 2023 And not so good, I am proud to be here now, because it’s a hard journey to achieve here. “
He also said that the Marathon was a unique sport event in the way he unites elite and masses. boom in the last few years. “
Although you are complaining to me all years ago that he was steeplechaser, and Iliv always acknowledged that the marathon was part of his destiny. He told me in 2022.It’s something we’ve been thinking about for a long time. I always know that this is the type of runner that is greater force than speed and has always been very young. We can see the training that I have a tendency for longer events. It feels more comfortable and becomes more naturally. I have always been a little frightened because of the distance I had in the past. I’ve been thinking over the years that I may be extremely damaged and that I will take too much injuries or I can reach the run for a marathon. But in the last two or three years I realized that I was much stronger than I may have lending me. And I’m overcoming those fears. What if I’m hurt I used to be afraid of it before? I think now I’m ready to move on that distance. Running a few good half marathons gave me a lot of confidence.
“I never wanted to go out to the marathon without 10k and a half. I think it’s just the next step in my career, and many athletes do it. Paula Radcliffe, my mother, even John Sawe, went to the marathon. It’s a natural progress that makes many women in my age. You don’t get more than 1500, but you are stronger for longer things. So it’s the next step in my career. I don’t know how to go, but we’ll see it, and it’s possible that it doesn’t go, and I would like I wish I would, and I would like to go back. And I won’t be ashamed of it. I think it’s the next logical step and I’m looking forward to it. “
It will be a great interest to what he can reach on Sunday.
