Laura Muir could be in search of a new coach 15 months out from the Olympics after a major falling out with long-term mentor Andy Young.
The British track star has packed her bags and flown home early, with training partner Jemma Reekie, from an altitude camp in South Africa, leaving Young behind.
UK Athletics told The Times the pair are back in the UK and being supported by their World Class Programme staff “to ensure they receive the support they require as they review their training and competition programmes for the season ahead”. Muir is a multiple global medallist over 1500 metres and one of Britain’s biggest podium hopes both at this summer’s World Championships in Budapest and next year’s Paris Olympics.
