This conversation is with sub 3 hour marathoner Jan Corcoran, who started running marathons back in 2015 and completed her first marathon in that same year with a time of 3:43.44.

Five years and six marathons later and she has lowered that Marathon time to 2:52.39. In February 2020 she finished 2nd in the 50k National Championships / Donadea 50k in a time of 3:34.13 and achieved the International A Standard and could now run 50K over 10 minutes faster than her first Marathon (42.2K).

She has since been selected to run on the Women’s Team at the Anglo Celtic Pate. She was preparing to take part in her first 100k Race when she represents Ireland at the Anglo Celtic Plate in Boddington, England which has been postponed due to CV19.
