In a previous post, I reported on the fast marathon time of 2h 12m posted by Ryan Creech at the 2024 Seville Marathon.
Ryan wasn't the only Cork runner on the course as RTE reporter Brian O'Connell of Togher AC was also in the marathon event and just nipped under the 3h 20m barrier with a chip time of 3h 19m 29s.
Corcaigh Abú!
On the Today with Claire Byrne programme on RTÉ Radio 1, reporter Brian O'Connell has an 11-minute segment about the new high tech running shoes which have a carbon plate. It includes the new Adidas version that are good for just one marathon and cost €500.
The programme includes an interview with Mark Hanrahan of John Buckley Sports.
