Jo Pavey set a national record for 3000 m indoors in February 2004 in Birmingham, England and broke this record in January 2007 in Stuttgart, Germany with a time of 8:31.50. The year of 2004 was a vintage year during which she won a European Bronze medal in the European Cross Country Championships, a fifth place over 5000 m in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and a national indoor record over 3000 m. In 2005 and 2006 she was Europe's fastest 5000 m runner. She has won the National Championships at 5000 m on six occasions (2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012) and in 2007 and 2008 she won both the 5000 m and the 10,000 m. In 2010, she added a third 10000m title and then in 2014, just eight months after giving birth by c-section, she won a fourth national 10000m title. Her first UK national title came at 1500m in 1997 giving a seventeen-year span between her first senior title and her 10000m victory in 2014.
