Draw is out for Mark English's 800m semi-final tomorrow and it's as good as he could hope for.
Top two to go through. Huge, huge chance to make his first global final.
Lots of great insights into the life of a world class 400m athlete in @DavidGillick's book The Race. It's well worth a read for any aspiring international athlete or coach.

Excellent run from Michael Murphy (Tullamore Harriers) in the Morton Games Albie Thomas 5,000m. First time under 14 mins with a 12 second PB of 13:54.85
Well done to Michael Murphy (Tullamore Harriers) on running a new PB of 14:06.38 in the 5,000m at the Bryan Clay Invitational T&F meet in Azusa, California yesterday. Super running from an athlete who continues to improve with every race.

Wavelights? For a championship?!
European Athletics announces that, for the first time ever, it will be using wavelight pacing technology for the 2025 European Indoor Championships.
“We’re the first championship to use wavelight in a competitive setting,” said TIG Sports & Events director Noor Van der Lugt. “European Athletics approved its use, and now it’s set to be a game-changer.”

And if you hadn’t noticed, that is Louise Shanahan’s dad Ray in the Leevale singlet racing on the old compacted soil track in the original indoor facility in Ireland in Nenagh. Congrats to Louise, who today impressively won the 2025 Women’s 800m title, her 7th National track gold
Have covered the National Indoor C’ships since the 1980’s. With the stardust sprinkled by @sharlenem229, Sarah Healy & Cathal Doyle these were a great 2 days but wish there were more elites there. The stadium was packed both days. Brilliant vibe. In my experience, unique.

Many thanks to all who sent messages on this, and a huge thanks to the sports editors at the Independent, Examiner & Sunday Independent for their backing and willingness to give athletics and other Olympic stories a proper airing.
Much appreciated🙏

Lotta truth here. I’ll add this: I really wish that when I went out for what was likely my last run years ago that I’d known that it was my last run (due to a couple of medical conditions). My advice is to savor every run, good and bad, because it’s only when you can no longer run that you realize that even a “bad” run is better than no run.
