The former Parklands High School pupil says she will now turn her attentions to the World Championships in Doha.

The Scot destroyed the field by coming home in 4:05.92 - more than three seconds ahead of Poland's Sofia Ennaoui. Ireland's Ciara Mageean took the bronze medal.

The Glasgow University graduate followed up her 3,000m success by setting the pace and powering away in the penultimate lap. The gap only got bigger as Muir underlined her class.
