Ireland has a proud unparalleled history of indoor running stretching back to the Chairman (of the Boards).

Willis reckons the new spike technology, which is powered by a superlight and highly responsive Pebax material, is worth between one to three seconds a mile, depending whether or not someone is a “high responder”. Another Olympian I spoke to, who wanted to remain anonymous, put the advantage at two to four seconds. Either way, it amounts to a change as seismic as when cinder tracks became synthetic.
The genie is not only out of the bottle, it is granting wishes at a record rate. The men’s 5,000m and 10,000m world records? Both toppled in recent months, along with the women’s 5,000m.
Would out of season testing have continued over the last 10 months.

Superstars in the 1980s pitted athletes of the caliber of double Olympic goal medal winner Ed Moses who won 122 consecutive 400m hurdles races against multiple All Star and AI winner Pat Spillane.
