Yelling will take on British rival Mara Yamauchi in London
|
Britain's Liz Yelling tuned up for next month's London Marathon by setting a new course marathon on her way to victory in the Bath half marathon.
The Commonwealth marathon bronze medallist ran 69 minutes 28 seconds in her final race before the marathon.
"I felt really strong," said Yelling. "I thought the course record was a realistic target so I just set off and the crowd support was awesome."
Yelling also rose to fourth on the all-time UK half-marathon rankings.
