Scottish runner Eilish McColgan has set a new British record in the 10,000 metres.
The 32-year-old completed the track in a time of 30:00:86 in California on Sunday morning as she continues her preparation for the London marathon.
Paula Radcliff had held the record for nearly 20 years after she clocked 30:01:09 in 2004.
McColgan now adds the record to the one’s she already held in the 5,000m, 5km, 10km and half-marathon.
She also won gold at last year’s Commonwealth Games 10,000m event and has been training at altitude in Colorado.
She made a late decision to race at the Soundrunning Ten event before claiming the new record.
Speaking after the race she said: “I’m absolutely buzzing.
“Two years ago I ran a big PB [personal best] here so it’s nice to be back with the crowds. I knew I was in really good shape but to have it all come together on the day doesn’t always happen.”
