Congratulations to Eilish on an outstanding performance in the 5000m final at the European Championships on Sunday night. We are delighted that all her training and the race plan came together for her to run a fantastic race and show her true potential.
Eilish finished 2017 on quite a high, after running several personal best times, and her prospects looked bright for this year. Since starting her senior athletics career Eilish has faced numerous injury and illness set-backs and unfortunately the year started with her fighting illness once again. However, after a slow recovery, Eilish worked hard to regain sufficient strength and confidence to compete and secure her place in Team GB for the European Championships. Since then she has gone from strength to strength, recently also securing a position at the top of the UK rankings for 5,000m.
We are proud to have supported Eilish since November 2013. Over the years Eilish has achieved many successes including representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the Olympic Games in London 2012 and Rio in 2016, as well as representing Scotland at two Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014 and in the Gold Coast this year.
It is lovely to see Eilish achieve the success she has worked so hard for in the sport she loves so much and we can’t wait to see what comes next.
