Laura Muir reflects on her performance after going second on the UK all-time list with a Scottish mile record

Laura Muir ran a Scottish record-breaking 4:19.12 in the Dream Mile at the ExxonMobil Bislett Games on Thursday (June 9) to go second on the UK all-time list.

Among Brits only Zola Budd, with her 4:17.57 from 1985, has ever gone quicker and Muir’s mark betters Yvonne Murray’s 4:22.64 from 1994 as she adds the Scottish mile record to the 1500m record she ran in Monaco last summer.

Her time was clocked when finishing as runner-up to Kenya's Faith Kipyegon who ran a world-leading 4:18.60.

Muir reflects on her record-breaking performance at the Bislett Stadium in the video below. You can our full online Oslo Diamond League report here.
