LondoncTypeface:> British distance runner Eilish McColgan says she is "numb” to comments on social media about her body shape and warned of the dangers of associating her with eating disorders. McColgan recently highlighted the abuse she received after posting a video of herself training on a treadmill in preparation for her first London Marathon, where some comments suggested she had anorexia. McColgan insists she has a perfectly healthy body and feels linking her body shape to an eating disorder is dangerous for aspiring athletes to see. (PA Media/dpa)
