It would be short-sighted if they didn't take her, I think. She's got maybe another 10 years or more ahead of her. The two who will definitely be going will both be 37yo in Rio. They deserve to be there but it's time to look to the future as well ...

However, I fear you will be proved right - we all know that British Athletics aren't known for their long-term vision and are sticklers for their selection rules.

Much respect to the lady who was doing her 130th marathon today. I think I saw another two ladies who had done over 100 earlier too. Amazing.

I saw at least 4, one of which described herself as a grey rhino on her 'hide'. Total respect for their madness.

Very sad news about David Seath.

On a more positive note, congrats to Shannon Foudy on being the millionth entrant to finish the London Marathon.
