She achieved a time of two hours and 39 minutes, but some people were more concerned with how the former European Indoor 1500m silver medalist 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?"

Another wrote: "I'm confused. Is this the first time people have seen pro athletes? 🤔"

The programme was made by World Productions as part of a collaboration between the BBC and Netflix.

Reality star admits ‘too much cocaine and partying' as he reveals collapsed nose wrapped up in bandages
The dad-of-one gave his theory for the nose injury PARTY BOY Reality star admits 'too much cocaine and partying' as he reveals collapsed nose wrapped up in bandages A FAMOUS reality star has opened up about his wild partying and cocaine use after revealing his collapsed nose. Aussie Timm Hanly, who is known for appearing on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, sparked concern when he posted a video clip of his deviated septum. 4 Timm Hanly showed his collapsed nostril on Instagram Credit: Instagram 4 He had septoplasty to fix the issue Credit: Instagram He was inundated with questions from fans asking if cocaine use had anything to do with the injury. Addressing the speculation head on, Timm, 33, said: "We can't rule out that it wasn't from cocaine or partying 'cause I've done lots of that in my life." "But I stopped doing that about five years ago when I started Front Runner, and I still had two good nostrils when I ended my partying career." Front Runner is a sports and streetwear brand founded by Timm that has 120,000 followers on Instagram. The dad-of-one believes his nose issues more likely stem from some rough punishment in the boxing ring. He continued: "I did have a boxing camp after that (partying), which I got absolutely f***ing pumped in… my nose got broken a couple of times, so I'm gonna say boxing - but we can't completely rule out the cocaine fking conspiracy. "But yeah, those days are over... I'm done with all that. Everything I do now has a purpose." Timm had septoplasty - a procedure to rebuild and straighten the septum - and has shared his recovery on social media. He is married to Briana De La Motte and they have a nine-month-old daughter called Harper. They dated for six years before he found fame on The Bachelorette in 2019 as a group of hunks battled for the affection of Angie Kent. Bachelorette's Trista Sutter returns to Instagram to address 'split & breakdown' rumors after Ryan's cryptic posts He ended up finishing second to series winner Carlin Sterritt. The following year he struck up a romance with Brittany Hockley on Bachelor in Paradise, which is filmed in Fiji. The romance ended soo after the show wrapped and not long after the series final ended on TV, Timm and Briana announced they had reunited and were giving things another shot. 4 Timm is married and has a daughter called Harper Credit: Instagram

After Earps, Bright and Kirby step aside, who has been selected for England Women's Euro squad?
Wiegman dismisses 'crisis' claims as Lionesses' Euros squad announced Sarina Wiegman has announced England Women's Euro 2025 squad, after a turbulent week in which several senior players have removed themselves from contention. Chelsea forward Lauren James has recovered from injury to make the 23-player squad. Meanwhile, Michelle Agyemang is one of seven players who will make their tournament debut as England look to defend their title in Switzerland. Others include Aggie Beever-Jones, Grace Clinton, Maya Le Tissier and Jess Park - alongside Khiara Keating and Anna Moorhouse, both back-ups for first-choice goalkeeper Hannah Hampton. Defender Lucy Bronze is set for her seventh tournament appearance for the Lionesses, including four consecutive Euros, one of 13 players who carry over from Wiegman's 2022 champions. Leah Williamson returns to captain the Lionesses after missing out on the World Cup with injury. Her Arsenal teammate Chloe Kelly, who scored the winner against Germany in the 2022 Euros final, also made the team. Full England squad Goalkeepers: Hannah Hampton (Aston Villa), Khiara Keating (Manchester City), Anna Moorhouse (Orlando Pride). Defenders: Lucy Bronze (Chelsea), Leah Williamson (Arsenal), Jess Carter (Chelsea), Alex Greenwood (Manchester City), Lotte Wubben-Moy (Arsenal), Esme Morgan (Washington Spirit), Niamh Charles (Chelsea), Maya Le Tissier (Manchester United). Midfielders: Ella Toone (Manchester United), Georgia Stanway (Bayern Munich), Keira Walsh (Manchester City), Grace Clinton (Manchester United), Jess Park (Manchester City). Forwards: Lauren Hemp (Manchester City), Lauren James (Chelsea), Chloe Kelly (Arsenal on loan from Manchester City), Beth Mead (Arsenal), Michelle Agyemang (Brighton on loan from Arsenal), Alessia Russo (Arsenal), Aggie Beever-Jones (Chelsea). It follows news of several high-profile players having retired or counted themselves out of the selection process altogether - including Millie Bright, Mary Earps and Fran Kirby. All three started every game when England secured their first major silverware at the home Euros in 2022. Chelsea defender Millie Bright withdrew from selection on Tuesday, saying she is 'not able to give 100 per cent mentally or physically' to England's title defence. Bright, 31, captained the Lionesses to their first World Cup final in 2023, replacing Leah Williamson who was injured at the time. In an Instagram post, she called it "one of the hardest decisions" she's ever had to make. "It wouldn't be fair for me to take the place and opportunity away from another player who is ready and able to give everything for the badge and country," Bright continued. England goalkeeper Mary Earps announced on May 27 she was retiring from international football with immediate effect - a choice she said was "difficult" and has "not one I've made lightly". Forward Fran Kirby also confirmed her international retirement on Tuesday night. Her last outing for England came from the bench during their 6-0 win over Portgual on Friday and she announced her decision following the team's 2-1 defeat by Spain on Tuesday. 'After being in the England team since I was 21, it's time to close that chapter of my life,' Kirby wrote on social media. 'I didn't ever want this day to come, but I cannot tell you how proud I am it happened. It's been the biggest honour to represent my country, one that I had only dreamt about as a young girl." UEFA Women's Euro 2025 will be played in Switzerland between July 2 and July 27.
