Fionnuala McCormack produced a strong performance to finish 10th at the New York City Marathon on Sunday, the 41-year-old clocking 2:27:00.

Just seven weeks on from her ninth-place finish in the World Championships marathon in Tokyo, where she ran 2:30:16 in oppressive heat, McCormack clocked the fifth quickest time of her career in what was her New York City Marathon debut.
