Megan Keith wins 10,000m race

BBC Online :
Megan Keith admits “through gritted teeth” the track 10,000m could be the event that suits her best, despite finding it “pretty boring”.

The 21-year-old from Inverness, a European Under-23 cross country and 5,000m gold medallist, clocked 30 minutes 36.84 in California this month.
That is inside the Olympic qualifying standard in her first 10,000m race and Keith is now open to a switch.

“I think it probably is up my street,” she told BBC Scotland.

“The only times we have discussed it is when I have told my coach or my training partners or my family that I will never be running one.

“I wanted to stay firmly in the middle-distance camp.

But time passes and here I am, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it is where my strengths lie.

But I am still getting to grips with how mundane it is.

“Through gritted teeth, I could say potentially because I have never actually watched a full 10,000m on TV or whatever because I find them pretty boring.”
