She had really burned her down by the last 100m. Obiri tried to go, but Muir just looks so tough.

Holy crap. Great race.

In conclusion:

1) The wee sparra Scottish-Irish Laura Muir is the most exciting female human runner on this planet at the present time.

(except maybe Phil Healy)

This race is not a surprise to me.

Can you not comment on anything without sounding like you just consumed crack cocaine out of a camel's ass?

This is clearly a Scottish conspiracy. There is nae fünkin danger that Scotland can produce so many world class athletes. There must be some kind of secret NOP style skunkworks project fuelled by the SNP and Scotland's missing North Sea oil millions.

It's obvious. Norway has one of the worlds biggest sovereign wealth funds but suspiciously Scotland has fück all. They are poor even though they have been pumping huge amounts of oil for decades. It's quite clear now that it was nothing to do with Thatcher and the tories sucking Scotland dry for decades.

They must have hidden the money and crated a secret plan to grow babies in alitutude tents in the middle of deprived cooncil estates all over Scotland. The ultimate goal being world domination of middle and long distance running.

This is bigger than the evil gadge Dark Lord Seb Coe being caught out by the commons parliamentary questions for being behind the Death Star and the destruction of several planets.

Hawkins, Butchart and Muir. What type of pharmaceutical companies operate in Scotland?

Galaxosmithkline?

"GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK) has launched Phase 3 studies of its daprodustat drug to treat anemia.

GlaxoSmithKline hopes daprodustat, which is a pill, can replace injectable Erythropoietin (EPO) products commonly used to treat anemia in patients with kidney disease."

Doping? As a Vet she might have access to some good stuff.

"GSK says daprodustat is a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), an emerging class of drugs that are being pitched as a more convenient oral alternative to injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) like Amgen's Epogen and Aranesp and Johnson & Johnson's Procrit.

Daprodustat (formerly GSK 1278863) and other HIF-PHIs work in a different way than ESAs, mimicking the effect of high altitudes on the body to spur red blood cell production. In addition to avoiding injections, they may also have safety advantages including a reduced tendency to raise blood pressure."

Wiki:

"Irn-Bru is known for its bright orange colour. As of 1999 it contained 0.002% of ammonium ferric citrate, sugar, 32 flavouring agents including caffeine and quinine (but not in Australia), and two controversial colourings (Sunset Yellow FCF and Ponceau 4R)."

Yep, the pill makes "the body think its at 5000 feet".
