Yep #9 performer, but one behind Berhane Adere

Hope it works!
If not, look for tweets by Laura herself & 1 or 2 others, where the same link is given!

ADD: Shit, it doesn't work!
Can someone find this link & patch it over!
It does show the entire race!!

Thanks to Atticus & br---

Was this a legit race?
Seems it was a 3000 extended (by Muir ONLY!!) to 5000!

I'll count it as legit!
Great run!
She passed 3000 in 8:59, then hit 4K in about 11:55--so her final K was about 2:54??
Could be off, since the only way I could see times was on the running clock a few meters past the finish line!

Also, it's the earliest sub-15 in history!
Earliest before was Tirunesh Dibaba's 14:27 on January 27th!

The "br" link no longer works but the one from atticus does.

Very good run. Muir is mainly a 1500 specialist so this 5k, indoor, in Early January, solo... is great. Her endurance is where it needs to be. I am interested in seeing if she can also run sub 2 in the 800, since she said she was going to take on even Mutola's 1000 wr. Impressive.

Supposedly she is doing the 1500/3000 double at the Euro indoors, which will be interesting.

Muir's pace in this latest run was 1.4 seconds/km faster than in her 3000 pr done indoors in 2015.

UK Athletics is accepting the mark, but I'm not sure USATF would if a race were conducted in that way here?

A solo effort is very impressive though, I'm sure there's more to come!

Supposedly she is doing the 1500/3000 double at the Euro indoors, which will be interesting.

If both events are run with heats, it is not going to be easy (though perhaps still doable). Two heats to run on day 1 - 3000 at noon, 1500 less than 5 hours later. Then it's the 1500 final on day 2 and 3000 final on day 3.

I absolutely LOVE Laura Muir

That's all

[Fortius19]

Me too!

On the track, she's looks like she's just giving it all she has.

To jump from 3:57 down to 3:55, skipping 3:56, was amazing!
