The pair clock respective times of 29:14 and 31:36, while David Weir comes back from the Paris Paralympics to win in the British capital yet again
Jack Rowe and Eilish McColgan produced superb runs to take respective victories at the Vitality London 10,000 (September 22).
The duo dominated their individual races and won by sizeable margins in the British capital.
Rowe, who triumphed at the Big Half earlier on in the month, clocked 29:14 for 10km and claimed the victory by 28 seconds.
The 28-year-old spent some time on holiday in Greece off the back of his Big Half win and will once again race over 13.1 miles at the Manchester Half (October 13). He will then decide whether to do any more events in the winter or reset and solely focus on 2025.
It’s been a stunning season for Rowe, who’s recorded personal bests in the 1500m, 3000m, 5000m and 10,000m.
He also finished 17th over 5000m at the European Championships and then placed third over the distance at the UK Athletics Championships.

Rowe, who had the 5000m qualifying standard for the Olympics, wasn’t selected for the Games and the three who went were George Mills, Sam Atkin and Patrick Dever.
After the Vitality London 10,000, he stated that he was “trying to formulate a plan” that involves the 5km, 10km and half-marathon for next year.
“I’m aiming to weave in a few of them,” Rowe told AW. “The 5km is a strength based distance and as long as you’re hitting the right kind of training, I think you can dip down to that distance and do a few.
“Between now and Christmas it will be strength based training for me with the wider emphasis of getting conditioning in for a marathon. After the new year I’ll do a few 5000m and 10,000m races early in the season before transitioning to the roads in good time.
“I’ve made such a step on the track and that’s meant I’ve been more comfortable on the roads. However, I’ve pushed off too early in some road races so I need to learn to be more patient.”

Eilish McColgan continued to build on her momentum to full fitness, winning the Vitality London 10,000 by an incredible 41 seconds.
This time last year the Brit underwent knee surgery and spent the following three weeks in crutches.
What followed was a heavy rehabilitation programme – including everything from cross-training to aqua jogging – to help prepare McColgan get back to competition once…
