Sarah Healy runs a PB and grabs second at Diamond League while Mark English runs sub 1:44

Irish record well within Monkstown runner’s sights now.

SARAH HEALY’S GRADUAL improvements just keep coming.

On Friday night at the Diamond League event in Paris, she ran her own personal best time in the 1500 metres of 3:57.15 and finished second behind Nelly Chepchirchir on 3:57.02.

She now has Ciara Mageean’s Irish record of 3:55.87 in her sights.

Mark English came close to breaking his own record for the 800 metres when he ran a strong race to finish in sixth place.

The Letterkenny man posted a time of 1:43.98, while in a tight finish, the overall winner was Spain’s Mohammed Attaoui with a time of 1:42.73.

English’s form has been a revelation in 2025, with the highpoint being a European Indoor 800m bronze in March.
