She closed out the race with an impressive 3:27 last kilometre showed that there is likely to be further improvement to come from the athlete.

Finlay said: “I was really happy to come away with another personal best and finishing so strongly has given me a lot of confidence for races ahead.

“I wasn’t quite sure what to expect coming into the race but with so many people in the group running really well it gives us all a lift.

“When you’re training around other people who are racing well and give you support you just want to go out and see what you can do.

“Lots of people in the group are setting personal bests and I’m really happy I’m continuing to improve and get faster.”
