Commonwealth Games 10,000m champion Eilish McColgan has withdrawn from next month's London Marathon due to a medical issue, organisers said in a statement.
The issue has been identified as rebound hypoglycemia. It is a common occurrence among endurance athletes and leads to reduced blood sugar levels. "When I do race my first marathon, I want to be in the very best condition," McColgan said on Thursday."When we started preparing for London earlier this year, it was clear something wasn't right on my long runs.
"I was relieved to learn it is not uncommon in athletes. I'm grateful to have a really supportive team around me who are working to find a fuelling solution for this issue and I'm confident that we will have done so in time for me to prepare properly for the 2023 London Marathon."
