All four of them are doing well by the looks of things. Wouldn't worry about Mick, he knows exactly what he's doing...

It was actually a mistake in the online results. It looks like they mixed up his and Ray O'connors distance after 5 hours and that has now been corrected. Mick has actually run 9.7 or 9.8 km every single hour and has been moving about 5 places up the rankings every hour.

Magnet also looks to be pacing her race like a metronome.

Atleast when they return they have these messages to show the level of suppourt they have.... Pacing at my average long run pace... Accept for 24hrs!!!!(strangely I'm not as upset about that as i might be..!!!)....tremendous inspiration to all runners I feel.

This seems to be a better way to view updated results.
Both still running steady after 8 hours.

Wow! Both through 100k in around 10 hours. Jaysus is all I can say to that.

Val isn't going to finish too far off my 150 mile prediction for her by the looks of things.

Miss Sheehan had a good night too. The boys just got lazy!

This is well deserved. I cant say it is unbelievable when you see the training she put in but it is totally AWESOME. Not long now. This is more exciting than anything onthe tv. Was supposed to go out for long run ( by normal peoples standards) hours ago but I cant make myself leave the computer.

Reminder that the winning distances in the first Belfast 24 hours were :
Thomas Maguire 203.89kms =127.43
Eddie Gallen 191.16kms =119.48 and
Fred Hammond 177.49kms =110.93
Noel Hanna 160.04 = 100 Miles

They've all done incredible out there but Val has obviously stood out. The very least she deserves aswell. Must be all over by now!
