Sarah Astin lopped nearly a minute off the Isle of Man record for the women’s 10,000 metres over the weekend.

Currently on a training camp in the United States with UK-based endurance runners ‘Team Makou’, Sarah finished fourth in the women’s race in ‘The Ten’ at San Juan Capistrano in California in a time of 32 minutes 34.

90 seconds. Her previous PB for the distance was 33:29.39 set in 2023.
