Laura Muir breaks 38-year British mile record
The Scot finished fourth in 4:15.24 to take more than two-and-a-half seconds off the mark set by Budd in 1985."Monaco always delivers," Muir told Scottish Athletics.
"I just felt really positive going into the race that I was going to run well and I'm just so happy. To run 4:15 and to break Zola Budd's British record, I think it's one of the oldest British records out there, so I'm very happy.""I knew I had to go off a little bit more conservative at the start of the race, so that was on purpose I left that gap, but I just ended up leading the rest of the pack - but it was fine, I was ready for that," she added.
"So to run that time, doing more or less all the work myself, I was really happy with that. To break a British record in my last race before Worlds is a good place [to be]."
