Jo Pavey MBE
2014 was a standout year for Jo Pavey, who finally claimed a long-awaited senior Gold medal at the 2014 European Championships in the 10,000m, only 10 days after claiming Bronze in the Commonwealth Games 5,000m.
All the more impressive given that Jo had only given birth to her second child 11 months earlier.
