Mellor ran in Seville which was only 3 weeks ago so probably not enough recovery time for him to be able to compete. You could be right about Ghebresesilasie - the last time he ran London in 2022 he ran 2:11:57 so he took 2 minutes off his time when setting his PB in Berlin. If he's in good form, then we could see him going sub 2:08.

Elite start lists for next month's London marathon have been published. I think this is likely to be the last chance for our athletes to get the Paris qualifying standard. GB Men (Potential Contender for OQT): Emile Cairess - 2:08:07: Already has the qualifying standard and not really clear why he wasn't selected in the 1st tranche of athletes. Callum Hawkins - 2:08:14: PB time dates back to 2019 and this will mark his return from a couple of seasons blighted by injury. Mahamed Mahamed - 2:08:40: Just missed the qualifying standard in Valencia in Dec '23 so if he is on form, should have good chance of getting the standard. Weynay Ghebresilasie - 2:09:50: Set his PB in Berlin last year and will have to shave over a minute from his time if he is hoping for a ticket to Paris. Others: Andrew Heyes - 2:13:52 Alexander Lepretre - 2:15:01 Norman Shreeve - 2:16:17 Alex Milne - 2:16:30 William Mycroft - 2:17:02 David Bishop - 2:17:06 Adam Bowden - 2:17:18 Kieran Walker - 2:17:30 Alexander Lawrence - 2:17:41 Daniel Hamilton - 2:17:59 Dominic Jones - 2:18:15 Fraser Stewart - 2:18:34 Tom Frith - 2:18:35 James Hoad - 2:18:38 Ryan Thomson - 2:18:46 Charlie Sandison - 2:19:22 Paulos Surafel Jacob Allen Kieran Clements Marc Scott GB Women - GB already have multiple athletes with the qualifying standard so none of the big names are on the start list are we're unlikely to have anyone getting the OQT. Becky Briggs - 2:29:04 Alice Wright - 2:29:08 Anya Culling - 2:34:45 Rachel Hodgkinson - 2:34:46 Helen Gaunt - 2:35:38 Mhairi Maclennan Lucy Reid
