MUIR: SCOPE FOR ME TO DO A DOUBLE LIKE HOLMES IN FUTURE
DESPITE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, THE SCOT DOUBTS IF SHE WILL EVER GO ANY FASTER THAN HER 3:55.22 BRITISH 1500m RECORD RUN IN PARIS
LAURA MUIR says she is open to the prospect of following in the footsteps of Dame Kelly Holmes and one day doubling up distances, though for now she is focused on the tough task of improving her British 1500m record.
The 23-year-old Scot took the 1500m scene by storm this year, ending the season as the world No.1 over the distance after running a phenomenal 3:55.22 personal best in Paris, beating the national record she set before the Olympics and recording the 16th fastest time ever.
