Sarah Healy produced the run of her life to smash her personal best and finish seventh at the Diamond League meeting in Paris on Sunday, clocking 3:57.46 to move second on the Irish all-time 1500m list. 

Ciara Mageean, the national record holder, was below her best back in 10th, the European champion clocking 3:58.69, having withdrawn from last weekend's nationals citing fatigue.
