"The last 12 months have been quite a journey," Hodgkinson said. "Weirdly, though, I wouldn't change any of it because I've learned so much. I've realised how strong I am... It's been super frustrating at times, when I'm working hard but not seeing any rewards for it and your body's letting you down. It's got me to where I am now, so I can't complain too much, but it's definitely been the most challenging year so far.

"I'm just grateful to be back now, because my biggest fear was missing the championships. I definitely spiralled a little bit. There was no plan for a period of time. It was literally day by day - we just had to play it by ear. And even coming back to running, it's like, 'OK, can I do a session today? Do I feel something?' I just wanted to be fearless [on my return]. I didn't have time to do more races and get that confidence. I needed to just go for it."

The NYC Athlos was only her sixth race of the 2025 season.
