'There are three or four women out there that can run 48 seconds; will they all do it?'

As Olympic year dawns, a long read on the rise of Rhasidat Adeleke, and the work she and her coach are putting in on the path to Paris.

'That’s probably the most important lesson I need to explain to Rhasidat: it’s not the best athlete or the most prepared athlete, it’s the athlete that can overcome whatever the hell s**t is, because s**t is going to get to you. It’s going to distract you'

Cathal Dennehy Yeah when I got into the early sales they were all like 600 euro each for any evening session… I really hope it’s sold out. But too steep for me plus kids

'The price of a single session is around 24 euros.'

Would love to know how many athletics tickets for Paris cost €24. Have never seen so many complaints from fans about how hard and expensive tickets are to get. insidethegames.biz/articles/11430…

'The thought of losing everything scared me; it was relentless fear.'

Feature on the young Danish star Axel Vang Christensen, who pulled off one hell of a comeback - in the race and in his career - to beat Niels Laros at the European Cross Country.

A big year ahead for Rhasidat Adeleke, who's currently undecided on racing the World Indoors in Glasgow.

'I’m doing all the hard stuff at this moment, trying to improve on all those little things, trying to get stronger, faster.”

Lovely piece by Dan Vernon following Femke Bol's rollercoaster week at the World Champs.

'I don't need everyone to look at me with pity. I wanted to show everyone that it can be tough, but to come back with a smile and give it everything you've got.'

I've always wanted to have a national record and now I have it although it's the first ever national record for the event (marathon mixed relay). I think we did a decent job and we are currently 7th on the world rankings for Paris Olympics. There's a lot more to come too.

Fionnuala McCormack, absolute legend. Qualified for her 5th Olympics last weekend at the Valencia Marathon (2:26:19).

Today she finished 4th at the European XC Champs for Ireland.

Another two medals in the bag – one gold, one bronze – and with that one of the most decorated U-20 careers in Irish distance running has come to an end.

But for Nick Griggs, this is likely just the beginning.
