While traffic is still high before the end of Worlds I thought might be the best time to get a bit of discussion going regarding Marathon season with the likes of Berlin, Dublin, Frankfurt and Amsterdam coming in the autumn winter.

Scullion ran the national half today, 1:08:46 and fourth. Mick was very impressive in London, 22nd in the world is not to be sneezed at. Real shame Pollock was injured, would have loved to see them pushing each other.

Have seen Hehir and Clohissey out running together in the Phoenix Park, great to see two of our best training together

Almost certain I (recently) read Scullion post somewhere that he is running Dublin, hopefully we get to see himself, Mick\Sean and a couple of others go at it for the national title

Be really good to see that when this year is the only realistic possibility to see our best run Dublin given the next WC isn't for two years. Hopefully, it happens.

Paul really interests me. His boom or bust approach may work eventually. In that I mean a 2.12 or thereabouts. As much as I admire his approach in many ways, I do wonder about the consistency needed to toe the line and compete on a regular basis. Here is hoping he does justice to his talent.

There is a more tangible element to the placing as well as top 25 placing should get you invites in to some of the top tier marathons globally.

Looks like Laura Graham as well as a few of the other girls are Berlin bound as well along with Dunleavy who was ahead of Scullion at the weekend and has seen some decent performances.
