On the hottest day of the year despite a moderate breeze, fast times for our endurance athletes were always going to be hard. But Freya Murray set out with confident ambition and in an impressive gun to tape victory, to defend her 2009 title and win the 2010 5000m in a time of 15:48.75. Meanwhile, Emma Raven improved from 6th position in 2009 to finish 4th in the 3000m steeplechase. Emma's time also suffered under the testing conditions but with 10:13 was her 2nd fastest ever and was almost 20 seconds faster than last year.
The previous day saw disappointment for Aly Dixon in the 10,000m as she was forced to withdraw after about 4km suffering from a funny turn (including light-headedness and palpitations). Poor Aly ended up in hospital but has since recovered and will no doubt bounce back quickly.
