England's Louise Damen has targeted success at the 2016 Rio Olympics after finishing seventh in the women's marathon at the Commonwealth Games.
Damen, who completed the course in a time of 2:32.59 hours, was Team England's best-placed finisher in Glasgow.
"It's the first Championship marathon that I have run so it was a slightly more tactical race than I'm probably used to," she told reporters. "But it's the first marathon where I didn't crash and burn in the last 10k so I'm pleased with that.
"I've tweaked my nutrition a bit and tweaked my pacing and that seems to have paid off. It's been a great stepping stone for me towards Rio, that's the next big target."
Meanwhile, Amy Whitehead placed ninth, while Alyson Dixon was forced to retire from the race with a calf injury.
