Finn Valley AC’s Mark English has set a new Irish 1000m record.
At the Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in Czechia, English clocked 2:15.82 to take down Luke McCann’s previous best of 2:16.40.
A superb last 150m to finish sixth in a race loaded by some of the world’s top 800m men who went up in distance for the race.
It has been an excellent season to date for the Letterkenny native.
