Ellie Pashley is an Australian marathoner you are going to want to start following if you aren’t already.  Ellie placed 8th at the 2019 NYC Marathon and has a PR of 2:26 in the marathon. She ran on the Worlds team in Doha in the 10k and has hopes to run in Tokyo in the Olympics in either the 10K or the Marathon this year.
