Teenager Ava Crean wins Irish marathon title in Dublin
Welcome to our weekly round-up from the roads of the UK and Ireland.
The IRISH LIFE DUBLIN MARATHON took place on October 26, with victories going to Daniel Mesfin of the United States and Eebbissee Addunyaa of Ethiopia.
However, much of the post-race coverage in Ireland centered on Ava Crean, who won the Irish women's title at just 19 years old.
"I didn't want to run outside because I was kind of embarrassed,"
she said, recalling her early days of running during the pandemic, when she struggled to complete more than 500 meters without walking and did most of her training on a treadmill.
Crean persisted and after running 2:49:00 on her marathon debut in Manchester in spring this year, followed by 2:43:26 in Limerick in May, she clocked 2:34:11 in Dublin to beat Ann Marie McGlynn, 45, who aimed for her third national marathon title with a time of 2:36:24.
Author's summary: Teenager Ava Crean wins Irish marathon title at 19.
