Another cracking run today for @EilishMccolgan in Muragame 💥

67:07 her 3rd fastest HM ever.

What the results don’t show? Solo running for the best part of 8 miles straight into 45km/h gusts 🌬️

Not easy for a lanky beanpole.. 😅

Pound for pound her best HM performance IMO!

[Michael Rimmer @MichaelRimmer8]

Beyond proud of this one today ❤️ @EilishMccolgan. You never cease to amaze me! Another record, another milestone.

What you’ve overcome is inspiring. Some doubted, but we know the truth. The respect you deserve is long overdue.

More to come!! 💪 #QueenEilish 👑

My exclusive in today's @heraldscotland with former world marathon record holder and current British record holder, Paula Radcliffe, about why she thinks if anyone's going to break her record, it'll be @EilishMccolgan https://t.co/j5B1tUhif8

Couldn't have planned a better few days if I tried:
1. Eilish breaks the Scottish marathon record on debut 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
2. Liverpool win the league 🏆
3. Get engaged to my best friend 💍

Can't help but think it's all downhill from here.. 😅

@DavidFetteroll @EilishMccolgan @sainsburys I personally think there could be an appetite for this type of content. It will have to be heavily data driven, ie analysing athletes stride length, cadence, heart rate etc. It will probably live or die by the production around the event, but at least there's some imagination.

[Michael Rimmer @MichaelRimmer8]

and you're lacking that competitive edge in your running. But it's great to see her running healthy and happy again, that's the main thing, and I suspect with a few more races in those legs it won't be long until she's back to her best! ❤️

[Michael Rimmer @MichaelRimmer8]

Super proud of this one last night. 💙 In what will potentially be her last ever track race, she's shown insane resilience to come back from a horrendous 18 months of injury - to still finish as one of the top 15 women in the world!

[Michael Rimmer @MichaelRimmer8]

honestly don't believe there are many, if any (clean) athletes who could do that! So although she'll still feel a little disappointed knowing that training pointed to a better performance, unfortunately you're always going to be up against it when you've missed so much racing

Next month I’m taking on the 12km Cuillin Ridge, it’s 11 Munros (one for every scottish national title I’ve won!) it’s 22 other summits & donating all funds to a great charity set up by @EilishMccolgan & @MichaelRimmer8 See 🔗 for details https://t.co/XciVUgx923 @ScotWomenSport

New British record for @EilishMccolgan at The Ten, sound Running. 30.00.8... agonizingly close to sub 30. But she will take that off marathon legs! Huge run 💓

[Michael Rimmer @MichaelRimmer8]

New course record and big PB for @EilishMccolgan this morning at the Great South Run. 50:42 (unofficial) to eclipse the old record of 51:00 from the great Sonia O'Sullivan! Brilliant way to end a breakthrough season 🥳🙌 #GreatSouthRun
