As well as finishing third overall, Duncan also filled the same position in his age category for veterans over the age of 50 after clocking a time of 18.25 minutes.

He said: “The race was a tough one tactically, especially on the back of a heavy schedule, but I was battling for bronze for most of the way.

“There was no give in the pace from the gold and silver medallists, and the runner in fourth was always a threat who had to be monitored throughout the race.
