By 2004 she had achieved her lifetime bests in all her track events: 9:08.24 minutes in the 3000 metres, achieved in September 2004 in Trento; 15:10.21 minutes in the 5000 metres, achieved in July 2004 at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre; and 31:40.31 minutes in the 10,000 metres, achieved in July 2003 in Watford.
Margaret Okayo won the competition three times in its first four years and Hungary's Anikó Kálovics has since matched that feat.
She rebounded the following month with a win at the Belfast International Cross Country, beating Anikó Kálovics and Cross Country Champion Hayley Yelling to the finish line.
