She achieved a time of two hours and 39 minutes, but some people were more concerned with how the former European Indoor 1,500m silver medallist was dressed.
Archer, 31, wore small briefs that are known as ‘run buns’ within the industry.
Many on TikTok criticised her choice of clothing and Archer called out some sexist comments.
She shared a video on the platform in which she posted many of the remarks thrown her way.
Archer responded with the caption: “Should I have worn a tracksuit?”
A voiceover played in the video which said: “F*** the f***ing lot of you.”
Some even used the video as another opportunity to post snarky comments.
One read: “But why are you running in Speedos?”

And a third wrote: “There are lots of shops in London you should check them out they have loads of clothes.”
Archer did receive some support however, with one person saying: “If I had abs like yours I would wear that daily. Not just on race days!”
Another wrote: “I’m confused. Is this the first time people have seen pro athletes? ”
