ANDY YOUNG, coach of Laura Muir, says he was quickly put into retirement by her rapid improvement when they first started working together in 2011.
Young began coaching Muir in September that year and, within three months, she had earned her first GB vest — at the European Cross Country Championships.
“In the very first sessions we did on the roads I could keep up. By the time we got to December she had made huge steps forwards,” he said.
