Rathfarnham’s Sean Hehir finished best of the Irish at today’s Virgin London Marathon. Hehir ran a time of 2:17.20 – fifteen seconds faster than the personal best he ran in the Dublin Marathon of 2012. Hehir had hoped to improve on the 2:17.48 he ran in Berlin last September. “Went for it. No regrets. Not to be today; fell apart in the last 7k, but a pb all the same,” said Hehir after.
