In late October 2013 she suffered a freak injury to her sacrum when she slipped over while out on a cross-country training run. A week after the fall, a nagging pain at the base of her spine was diagnosed as a fracture, which meant she could not run until February 2014. (telegraph.co.uk, 11 Jun 2014)

FATHER AND COACH
After she did not make the Great Britain team for the 2016 Olympic Games, she renewed a coaching partnership with her father Mick. "[2016] hadn't gone to plan and all that was left was to revert back to what we knew; back to when I was 17. My dad said he would set my sessions and we'd do the same as back then - train hard and race as much as I could and see what happened. I was so grateful my dad wanted to take me on again. I went from being so disappointed to being so motivated to get back to somewhere near my best." (skysports.com, 24 Mar 2017; independent.co.uk, 23 Jan 2015; scottishathletics.org.uk, 12 May 2021)

FURTHER EDUCATION
After completing a bachelor's degree in biology in 2018, she began studying for a PhD in regenerative medicine at Loughborough University in England. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Sep 2018)
