Jo Zakrzewski has headed to Los Alcazares, Spain, for the IAU 100k championships on Sunday (November 27) as the lone representative for Britain.

Zakrzewski placed in a superb fifth at last year’s combined World and European championships with a 10 minute personal best of 7:31:33, a time which propelled her to fourth on the UK all-time list and secured individual European bronze, and the 40-year-old will be looking to better that time once again on what will be her fourth attempt at 100k.

At the back end of October the Durham athlete was also the third team counter at the IAU World Trial Running championships, with a time of 11:46:51 (29th) clinching team bronze for the British women’s team in Geres, Portugal.
