Sarah Frost has revealed she will miss the first two races of the UK tower running season as she recovers from a foot injury.
The UK number one sustained the injury to her right foot, consisting of bone bruising, plus ligament and nerve damage, while doing rehabilitation exercises for a long-standing knee issue.
It means Frost will be unable to go for three wins in a row at the Walkie Talkie Building on 29 February. Last year she became the first woman to run sub five-minutes at the tower in London.
Likewise she will miss the race at the Leadenhall Building scheduled for the same day. She set the Leadenhall course record of 8:03 in 2018.
Frost has her eyes on March for a return to racing. She was the only UK athlete selected in the elite division for La Verticale de la Tour Eiffel so is hoping to be ready for the event in Paris on 11 March.
