Guest Post: IRISH 10-MILE RANKINGS 2019... by John Walshe


In this guest blog post, John Walshe writes the final rankings for runners in Irish 10 mile road race in 2019.

IRISH 10-MILE RANKINGS 2019

Last year an Irish 10-mile ranking list was compiled for men and women, giving all performances under 55:00 (men) and 65:00 (women). This year, a similar list has been put together and it’s good to see a significant improvement in the overall standings.

In 2018, the total times under the standards of 55:00 and 65:00 were 81 (men) and 47 (women). For 2019, the totals have increased to 119 and 65. As well, the leading marks of Sean Tobin (48:34) and Aoife Cooke (55:17) are faster than last year’s leading times of 48:41 (Kevin Seward) and 56:47 (Laura O’Shaughnessy).

In 2018, eight performance under 60:00 were achieved by women while for last year it has risen to 14. Aoife Cooke has the top three fastest times and it’s also interesting to see that the top six were achieved in Cork races.

A similar number of eight men broke 50:00 in 2018, last year it increased to 12. Some runners seem to have a particular liking for the 10-mile distance, for instance Angela McCann has six times under 65:00 to her credit.

And finally, it is very rare for a man to run 10 miles in a time faster than his age. Last July, 59-year-old Tommy Hughes easily accomplished that feat when recording 54:54 and now that he has turned 60 it should be mere formality for him to achieve the magical barrier of ‘breaking 60 at 60.’
