    Ian O'Riordan had a piece on Barr and Britton in today's Times. He spoke with Chris Jones, Britton's coach on the reasons behind the marathon.
    'Now there have been a lot of different opinions thrown out as to why she’s running the marathon as well, four days later. But all through the winter we were considering the best marathon opportunity. That came up here, when a couple of the Irish women dropped out with injury, and it was Fionnuala’s decision all along. It might sound a little outside normal thinking, but she’s fully intent on going the distance, learning as much as she can, because she probably won’t run another championship marathon until the Rio Olympics.

    Women's 100m: Healy ran well, was in contention with the leaders up until the last 10-15m. Foster got a great start, and sneaks into the final qualifying place for the semis. Healy agonizingly close, missing out by 2 hundreths.

    Men's 400mH: Harvey was looking ok up until the last 100m. Apparently he's been hampered by an ankle injury recently so that coule have affected his strength in the home straight. Better time than he ran in the Commonwealths though.

    Hoping for a good showing from Gregan now.

    Good run by Richard Morrissey. 6th in 46.20. In a fastest losers' spot at the mo.

    Men's 400m: PB for Richard Morrissey in heat two to come 6th in 46.20, taking .22 off his best. Can't ask for more than that! Possibly might sneak through as a fastest loser.

    Easy qualification for Gregan. How much more has he?

    Still looking good for Morrissey.

    yeah looked like she clipped a couple of hurdles in the middle of the race. Good experience for her anyway, we'll be seeing plenty of her in the future.

    -1.1 headwind also, not a bad run and from her, was always gonna be a tough heat with her slowest on paper. Great learning experience for her though

    You'd miss Derval racing. She always gave her best & was a great sportswoman for Ireland. Hope she has a nice retirement.

    Something must have happened, he was looking comfortable up until about 200m to go.

    Was working hard the down the back stretch (very heavy breathing) to be honest I think he just ran out of legs, did well to put himself in the mix for a qualifying spot and positioned well

    In the EC in Helsinki two years ago, Britton came 4th in the same event.

    Plus she's a two time European Cross country champ, so the answer is- pretty good. She's our top female long distance runner at the moment.
