@jimnotleo@cfccod@gaynorroddy@NorthSligoAC Proud to say I am part of the club and even more proud to be from Sligo. I hope kids are watching and see it can be done even from our small county, punching above our weight. Best of luck in the final Chris

@sara_treacy Funny enough Sara I had a similar conversation with my sister, maybe staycation could mean exploring parts of your own county, I hate to admit it but have never climbed Benbulben, I bet lots of people haven't done stuff at home but will travel 3 hours to do so
What's the greatest athletics performance you saw in person that hardly anybody else saw? For me it was @Kimsmithnz's 14:39.89 5000m indoors, @ArmoryNYC, 27-Feb-2009 at NYU Fastrack Inv. She lapped the field multiple times (2nd pl was 17:28.73). @nyrr_pro was there too.

Thanks Pierce for sharing and thanks @ciaramageean for such kind words post interview. The running community really is one of a kind. Awesome run by Ciara tonight and great for the next generation to watch great athletes race on irish soil #inspireageneration
Great respect shown by @ciaramageean towards @cullenator17 Irish Record... We shouldn’t forget Mary Cullen broke the previous @irishathletics record set by @soniaagrith who won World Silver with her performance in 1997...We’re so lucky with an embarrassment of riches.. #Legends
Thanks Derval, super win/run by Ciara. Looking very strong for 2020,also thank you @ciaramageean for your kind words, it means alot #runnermatesarethebest!!!
Loved that @ciaramageean spoke about how great @cullenator17 Irish record is. Super win by Ciara on home soil. Also how great is it to see all the kids getting autographs?! 🙌💃
Running helps create two skills that are increasingly rare:
1. When running by yourself, it helps create an ability to be alone inside of your head for a long time.
2. When running with others, you learn to fill time with conversation instead of defaulting to your phone.
@sineadkissane @prefontaine375 Great Article Sinead, ray spoke so well and Ro hit the nail on the head on how ray coaches and how he is as a person, long term development #guru
