Claire McCarthy enroute to a PB of 2:38 in Berlin. Photo: Kieran Carlin |
Clare McCarthy of Leevale AC in Cork ran a personal best time of 2h 38m 00s and now provisionally qualifies her for the 2016 World Championships in London. What's pretty amazing is that Claire's time is exactly the same as the Irish qualifying standard.
Gladys Ganiel of North Belfast Harriers finished in 2:39:10 which is inside the IAAF standard but outside the Irish one.

As far as Inknow Irish qualifying times are 217 and 238 and not 219 245
Yes the standards are 2.38.00 and 2.17.00. Well done Claire. Great running. You don't get half the credit you deserve. Well done to the other cork athletes in particular Ronan Boland for running a 2.45 at as over 50!! Super running.
PB for Alan o Brien i think,fantastic running from a really good guy,well done to all
Well done clare, great running!
Lots of these sub 2.40 runners in Berlin ran the Clonmel half marathon also. A pretty rough calculation of their Berlin times is double their clonmel half time and add 8 minutes although with Conor McCauley its more like add 6 minutes and Chris Murnane 4 minutes.
Great run Claire well done. Only for her injuries she would be in the top 2 female marathon runners in Ireland.Brilliant athlete.
Impressive running Claire McCarthy. Well done!
Well done Claire.Injury free definetly one of our best marathon runners.
Is she not over the standard of 2:38:00? I didnt get to see the milliseconds but do you not have to run exactly 2:38.00 or lower? Still though hats off!
Looks like her time was rounded up 2.38.00
Well done Claire .. .... well deserved result
Would def made olympics only for injuries
