Brian Gregan: 'I was jealous of others getting the chance to run. It made me resent the sport a bit'

After a horrific series of injuries, Brian Gregan is back in an Irish vest at the World Indoors in Belgrade this weekend

Brian Gregan (Clonliffe Harriers AC) competes in the 400m final at the Irish Life Health National Indoor Championships last month.

Brian Gregan thinks back to 2017: where he was, how he felt, where he thought he was going. Back then, the Tallaght sprinter was Ireland’s top performer on the track at the World Championships in London, finishing sixth in the men’s 400m semi-final in 45.42 seconds.

Weeks before, he’d hacked his personal best down to 45.26, behind only David Gillick on the Irish all-time list.
