The National Senior Cross Country Championships were held last weekend in Dublin and one of the biggest stories as reported in the press was how sisters Fionnuala McCormack (nee Britton) and Una Britton shared the podium.
While Fionnuala was always expected to win, this was a big result for her sister Una to snatch the third spot for a national senior Bronze medal.
As part of her build up for the cross country season, Una also ran in the Charleville Half-Marathon in Cork in September where she finished in 2nd place in a time of 1hr 20m 10s.
Una is coached by Jerry Kiernan who was one of the best distance runners in the country in his day.
