Karen Gill, 25, had a goal in 2017; to qualify with a Good For Age place for the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon. She had aimed to do this for a couple of years, but something had always got in the way. She changed her mindset, was strict with her training and achieved her goal at last year’s Marathon du Mont Saint-Michel, in France.
