Summary
Naomi Mitchell ran a 4 minute personal best time at the London Marathon this past weekend for a time of 2:33:23. Her marathon progression is exciting and impressive. She’s only 26 years old and has been putting more serious training into the marathon since 2018. She casually ran some marathons in the speedy times of 2:49-3:01 before she decided to really see what she could do. Last fall in Frankfurt she ran a 2:37 and just a year later took that down to 2:33 from this past weekend!
