The Dundonian won the women’s 10km in 30 minutes and 18 seconds in the closing act of a campaign that began in February and peaked with her sensational Commonwealth 10,000m gold in Birmingham.
The 31-year-old, who will jet off on holiday today to unwind from a campaign that also delivered two European medals in Munich and five British bests, cited the buzz from her first outing in Scotland since the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth as a factor in making one last push.
