Logan Rees and Eilish McColgan were in 10k road action over the weekend and came up with strong runs. Logan preferred the Valencia 10k to the sub-zero temperatures and surface at the Inter-District XC in Glasgow. And that decision paid off well for the Fife AC athlete as he clocked a new PB of 28:35 in Spain on a day or impressive times by British athletes. We reckon that takes Logan to sixth on the all-time list for Men’s 10k on the roads.
