For those who need to hear it (especially in the post-Boston, pre-London madness), marathons can be great, but there’s far more to running. Track, mile, 5k, 10k, half marathon, hills - they matter too. Don’t let the influencers influence.

The 2025 World Road Running Championships have been cancelled. World Athletics will now focus on the next edition of the event, which takes place in Copenhagen next year.

May starts tomorrow; here's what we've got to look forward to over the next month 👇🏻 trackathletes.ie/articles/irish…

Andrew Coscoran (5,000m/3,000m) is among the entries at the weekend's Grand Slam Track Meet in Miami🔥🔥🔥 ℹ️Event info: grandslamtrack.com/events/miami#t… 📺TNT Sports 1 (Paid Subscription) #IrishAthletics

Biggest win of Andrew Coscoran's career last night in Miami, outkicking a double Olympic medallist in Grant Fisher. A 54-second last lap, and a blazing 11.89 for the last 100m.

Third place in the 5,000m earns Andrew Coscoran $50,000 as outright runner-up in the long distance events at the second Grand Slam meeting in Miami. He won the 3,000m on Friday. A decent payday if you’re good enough to earn it.

On this Day in 1954 #SirRogerBannister ran the first ever mile under 4 minutes. 🏃‍♂️ Have a read as to why he ran. Really powerful words on a journey of self-discovery through sport with the help of others. 🙏 Timeless lessons for us all. 📝 Definitely #HighPerformance 🔥

Brian Kipsang handed two-year ban after positive test. After placing second at this year's Rome Marathon, the Kenyan's in-competition urine sample returned a finding of triamcinolone acetonide. athleticsweekly.com/news/brian-kip…

Ethiopia's Mo Aman, the 2013 world champ in the 800m, just finished serving a 4-year suspension for evading a test in 2021. What's strange about it: the suspension was never even announced until after he had finished serving it. What we know so far: letsrun.com/news/2025/05/f…

BELFAST MILERS' MEETING, by Malcolm McC ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏃🏻‍➡️ open.substack.com/pub/runmalrun/…

World Champs qualification secured for the Irish mixed 4x400m team of Conor Kelly, Rhasidat Adeleke, Ciñlin Greene and Sharlene Mawdsley - 3:12.56. Also puts them into tomorrow's final. Could be a very different line up then.

🔵We are heartbroken to hear of the tragic passing of Emmanuel Famiola and Matt Sibanda in Donegal. Both wonderful young men known to our group in Buncrana. Indeed Emmanuel ran with the group recently. Two beautiful young men with their lives ahead of them taken far too soon 💔
