Posted : 16 April 2023
Eilish McColgan won the Berlin Half Marathon by breaking her personal British record.
The 32-year-old shaved 43 seconds off her previous best time for the course as she crossed the finish line in one hour, five minutes, and 43 seconds.
The fourth-place finisher in the history of the European Union is Scotland's McColgan, who will run her first 26.2 miles on April 23 at the London Marathon.
Tsigie Gebreselama of Ethiopia came in second, 30 seconds later, followed by her countrywoman Yalemget Yaregal.
Samantha Harrison, a British competitor who finished fourth, came short of the podium.
The 28-year-old Englishwoman finished 50 seconds later than Yaregal in one hour, seven minutes, and seven seconds.
In March, McColgan set a new British 10,000m record in California - beating Paula Radcliffe's time - but has been dealing with injuries in the build-up to London.
