Louise Shanahan is in recalibration mode. Not that she’s complaining, mind. Better to have achieved your stated target for the year in your first race of the outdoor season than not to achieve it at all.

Fresh from her 800m Irish record-breaking exploits in Belfast last weekend, Shanahan will this Saturday tick off a bucket list dream of running in the Diamond League.
