I’ve always been very fond of the Bilboa 10k. It’s a race that has a lot going for it. The course is interesting, well stewarded and very quiet from a traffic point of view. In fairness it’s not a particularly fast route as it gets quite hilly towards the end and those hills tend to knock the stuffing out of you just as you might reckon you have a chance of a decent time. Part of the race’s charm for me is the warm welcome you get at registration and the generous homemade refreshments that are provided for all when the running has been done.

Paul Hession was in superb form yet again when representing Ireland in the European Cup of Athletics in Tallin, Estonia on Saturday. Paul ran the 100m and won, easing down, in 10.30 seconds. The wind reading was marginally over the legal limit but this is yet another pointer to what will hopefully be a great season to come.

GCH thrower, Sean Breathnach threw a season's best of 15.42 in the Shot Putt at the same event.
