Have just listened to this. I could listen to her talk all day. She’s amazing and just so down to earth on so many things

How many “fun running buffoon” types would be active members of athletic clubs? I was in Marlay Park this morning and was startled by the amound of groups of 6 or 8 out pounding the pavements.

Wrong thread. Fun running buffoonery has its own dedicated discussion.

Strong tailwind apparently, but he missed his start

He couldn’t even pull himself up at the finish

He just ran 20.04 over 200m during the night. He’ll be stronger over that. His leg speed is baffling. He runs with his head bobbling all over the place. Some training and technique and he’ll smash all of Bolts records

The Monaghan in me refuses to believe he’s 16.

I’d normally say the same but this lad was born and reared in Oz I believe. Had he moved over as a child I’d be more skeptical of his age

Even if he’s 18 he’s a beast

Who’s first on the u-18 list? @Mac
