The best British performance came from UK W55 record-holder Sue McDonald just over a month after setting a British age group record at Berlin.

She set off inexplicably fast passing 10km in exactly the same time as when she won the World Masters title in Poland and her halfway time was four seconds faster than her gold medal half-marathon time in Torun.

She ultimately paid for her lack of pace judgement so soon after her 2:47:19 record.

Her 10km splits were 38:53, 40:20, 42:16 and 43:33 but she was still the leading British woman of any age with 2:54:37 and won her age group by nine minutes and was only just behind the M55 winner Masato Tanaka of Japan.

Her time of 2:54:37 was two seconds faster than the British W55 mark she originally set in London last October which she subsequently improved in Berlin.
