Laura Muir defends her Scottish cross country title

Laura Muir ran the 1,500m and 5,000m in London World Champs. Her 4th in 1,500 meters and sixth in the 5000 meters were tremendous runs, considering that every top rated global woman runner in those events was present.

The women’s 1,500 meters and 5,000 meters are two of the most competitive events in the entire sport. I truly love watching both events, as they are such different events. The 1,500 meter final lived up to all the hype, as did the 5,000 meters.

So, Laura Muir, and rightly so, took some time off racing since the London World Championships. Her first race back was a Scottish short course cross country, and she defended her title.

Also, Laura Muir won the BAWA Female British Athlete of Year award for 2017 as well.

A busy year for a fine athlete. And one who has great races on the horizon.

Great to be back! First race since London WC and retained my @scottishathletics 4k #LindsaysXC title 😊 Thanks for all the support out there ❤ Photo cred: Bobby Gavin
