Will Fionnuala Britton move up to the Marathon???

On the Off the Ball sports programme on Newstalk radio last week, there was a discussion with John Treacy and Mark Carroll about whether Fionnuala Britton will move up to the Marathon distance? It was suggested that with the correct training, Fionnuala might be able to run a Half-Marathon in under 70 minutes and around 2:24 for the full Marathon.

The current Irish record holder is Catherina McKiernan who ran 2:22:23 in Amsterdam in Nov 1998.

The interview can be heard from 37:10 to 48:55...
