Since this podcast Innes has competed in the 5000m (Fast5000 in France). She was attempting to break the U20 women's record. This record has stood for 40 years, held by Zola Bud. At the track, the extremely windy conditions on the night made fast times and PBs impossible!

On 15th June Innes made her Diamond League debut in Stockholm in the women's 5000m. A brilliant run, tactically perfect which took on to the podium in 3rd place, beating the reigning British 5000m Champion, Hannah Nuttall into 4th.
