Jo Pavey won her first race since giving birth to her daughter as she qualified for the 10,000 metres at this year’s European Championships.

The 39-year-old from Devon gave birth in September 2013 and marked her return to sport with victory in the UK 10,000m Championships in Highgate in a time of 32:11, well inside the 33-minute qualification time for Zurich.

It was Pavey’s first competitive race since finishing 7th in the 10,000m at the London Olympics.

The European Championships take place from 12-17th August.
