British athlete Eccles targets a final Commonwealth Games medal run after departing the GB set-up in March.
Eccles will race at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, targeting a third appearance at the multi-sport event. She left the GB set-up in March but has continued training independently, using the departure as a reset rather than a setback.
Leaving the national setup was her decision. Rather than follow a structured program, Eccles is managing her own preparation. That choice has not blurred her focus: she is peaking for Glasgow with medals on the line.
The Glasgow crowd will add weight to her campaign. Competing on home turf, in front of British supporters, is a variable Eccles is accounting for as she prepares for what she sees as the final chapter of her Commonwealth Games story.
Three appearances. That is the arc Eccles is chasing. The first two gave her experience on the Commonwealth stage; the third is about closing that chapter with a medal and control over her own trajectory.
