I didn’t read this thread until now, and based on the previous posts, it seemed like she must have run something like 30:30. Given her 30:58 last year and OT marathon win, 31:03 is a little disappointing.

I would think since her training is focused on the Oly marathon, not a PR in the 10k right now - that she looked rather sprightly and is probably pretty pleased with the carry over in fitness from the Trials win.

Weather conditions weren’t great right? Ismail (12:56 a few days before) and Dever (27:0x) finding it hard to run the times you’d think. A little too hot/humid I thought.

Frank Shorter set a 10000m AR about 10 days before he won the Olympic marathon. The training for the two distances is very similar.
I was trackside the entire meet and for both elite races the conditions were fine - maybe 17C, 18C tops unless data shows otherwise. V modest breeze by UK standards
The Night of 10,000m PB's is now online. The women's 10K starts at 5:58. For someone relatively new in the 10,000, Megan Keith seems to know what she is doing. In the post-race interview she refers to O'Keefe as the American girl and talks about rounding the bend. Not sure what that means exactly.
