- So many people stayed till 10pm for my medal ceremony. Such a special moment! Thank you! 💙
- Fought for every inch of my silver medal last night! 🥈 Not quite the gold I was looking for, but proud to become the first woman in history to run more than two sub 31min 10,000m races in one year! (4 total, with 3 in the last 30 days...🙃😅)
- This is heartbreaking. Even more heartbreaking that it's not the first time the athletics community has lost such an incredible female athlete to domestic violence. 💔 It needs to stop! RIP Rebecca. 🙏We're sorry to report that Rebecca Cheptegei has sadly passed away. The Ugandan has succumbed to her injuries after she was doused in petrol and set alight in her home in Kenya. Cheptegei suffered burns to 75% of her body after an alleged attack by her former boyfriend.
- What a week!! 🤩
- Can now add *Marathoner* to my resume! 💫 One of the hardest races I've ever done, but really proud of how I gritted it out to the finish. Scottish Record, Family Record, and British Champ. Not bad for a debut! 🙏 THANK YOU for the cheers around the course. It was insane!!
- Absolutely worth the jet lag. YES to forever! 💍🏔 ❤️
- What a way to sign off my 2022 track season!! 🥳🇬🇧 Had to dig deep into my soul for that one... 😂 3 major championships in the space of 4.5 weeks - is not for the feint hearted!
- Proud & honoured beyond belief to be asked to carry our flag at the closing ceremony! 🏴 An emotional few days & this just added a little extra to the mix!😭 Who would've thought when wee Eilish started in this sport 20 years ago... one day she'd be the flag bearer! 🤯 #greetin
- "Awful running style" "Too skinny" "Her form is too inefficient for road racing" "Will never improve" "Getting too old" People are always going to doubt you. But keep working, keep believing & continue to smile! 😊
