Laura Muir is well loved in the British Isles. She is worshipped in Scotland. And last year, after setting British indoor records at 5000 meters, 3000 meters (European Record as well), 1000 meters, showing some stunning leg speed.

At the 2017 European Indoor Championships in Belgrade, I was fortunate, with the rest of the fans in Kombank Arena, to watch Laura Muir run away from the field in the 3000 meters. She came back and won the 1,500 meters as well, breaking both European Indoor records! Laura had some injuries building up to London, but she ran an 800 meter PB, a strong 1,500 meters, and then, a fine mile at the London anniversary games.

Laura Muir doubled at the World Championships. Her 1,500 meters was a fantastic race, and in battling the top six out of top ten athletes in world, she was outkicked by Caster Semenya, gold medalist in the 800 meters, and finished fourth. In the 5000 meters, Laura Muir finished sixth in the 5000 meter final.

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

People second guessed Laura and her coach, Andy Young. That happens anytime. Truth is, her 1,500 meters, 5000 meter double was set up so that the 1,500 meters was never compromised. Her 5000 meters, probably where she will send up in future years, was again, a battle with the finest runners in her event.

If you want to learn about her training, check out this FB video I did last year on the Birmingham Marathon Distance Clinic with Wendy Sly, Barry Fudge, Ian Stewart, Andy Young and Tim Hutchings: https://www.runblogrun.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?search=Birmingham+Marathon+Distance+Clinic&IncludeBlogs=5&limit=20

Laura Muir runs cross country, indoor races, road relays and a long European season. She continues to improvie and she has a great attitude and other life, she is training to be a large mammal veternatian.

When you turn up @edinburghairport and oh hello! 🙋 Monaco and London here we come!

Laura Muir will miss the Commonwealth Games this year, something that others want her to reconsider. But, Laura Muirs is in her final months, with papers due and examinationas in May. For Laura Muir, her goals are at the World Indoor Championships, and she has yet to decide if she runs the 1,500m, the 3,000 meters or both.

What do I say to her critics? Get over it. Andy Young is a fine coach, who has the trust of Laura Muir. Laura Muir is one of the finest young athletes that I have seen. She is racing against the likes of Jenny Simpson, Faith Kipyegon, Caster Semenya and Hellen Obiri. She does not have easy races, and she will win global medals.

Watch her race in front of her people, in the Birmingham Arena on March 1-4, 2018, and let’s see how this fine Scottish runner performs!
