Too short course of 150 m, false record and real disappointment, the misadventure of Eilish McColgan

The route was measured correctly, but it looks like we were turned a street too soon. It was a very short section but of course we lost a few meters! Looking at the map, I can see what happened“, she tweeted.

Fortunately for Eilish, she already holds this record (in 30 minutes and 19 seconds). And she’s obviously taking it pretty well. “I am obviously disappointed by this news, but these are things that happen. Luckily my UK record and my European record still stand with my 10k Great Manchester Run. So, it’s all right !“, said the 31-year-old half-crosser.
