This is arguably one of the greatest female fields ever assembled and Liz McColgan destroyed it. That was one of the most dominant runs ever produced by a man or a woman.

Did he tell you that?

Maybe the first Strabane sub 4 but not the first Irish.

He still holds the Irish steeplechase record I think.

re: yes

Take your pick.

Derek Graham ran 3:59 in 1966 twenty years before Peter broke 4 minutes, Paul Lawther ran 3:58 10 years before Peter broke 4 minutes and Mark Kirk ran 3:59 just 5 days before Peter broke 4 minutes.

There might be others too.

Sorry, but your information is incorrect.

I always enjoyed watching Liz McColgan run when she was in her prime. She always seemed to put 100% into her races.

I think she did really well at London this year and I am a fan of her continued commitment to athletics.

Well done, Liz!

...of course she is. She's from Dundee, Scotland.

She was a great athlete, full of grit. The 'Alfreda Tucker' of marathon running. A better role model in most respects than Paula.

Liz = The Roy Keane of British Womens Distance Running

Paula = The Ronaldo ...

re: wannabekila

how can you compare paula radcliffe to ronaldo? im presuming your talking about the diving, cheating cristiano rather than the brazilian

re: Scott Not

i know Tulu, not one of my favourite people though.

We had an athletics club in a town i once lived in. She was employed by that town as a sort of ambassatrice but would she join the club or come and say hi to the kids

in the kids athletics sections? well i'll let you work out the answer for yourselves.....
