"Endurance athletes, coaches and supporters were treated to a real insight into elite athletes and their world. A number of athletes and coaches travelling in for the Great Ireland Run made themselves available to a large turnout of the endurance fraternity. Many aspects of training, preparation, competition were openly divulged. Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele who clocked the fastest 10 kilometres time in the world so far this year to win the SPAR Great Ireland Run also joined the group delighted to be in Ireland and wishing everyone good luck in the Great Ireland Run." Dave Hooper facilitated the Q&A. Panel: Cristelle Daunay, French national marathon record holder (2:24), 2nd Paris marathon 2011. Gemma Steel (GB) 2nd in 2011 Great Ireland Run, Bronze 2011 Euro Cross Country. Helen Clitheroe (GB) 2011 Euro Indoor 3K champion. Dave Cannon (GB) ran 2:11 marathons on three occasions Montreal (1980), Japan and Paris (1981) where he won in a dead heat! Those times would place him number 1 UK athlete in the 2011 and 2012 London Marathons if running today! In fact he would be the current leading UK marathon runner. Organised by Teresa McDaid (National Endurance Coaching Co-ordinator) in conjunction with Peter Riley and Nova International.
