As you’ve been hearing, Rob Heffernan won the men’s 50k walk in Moscow today, having finished fourth in the event in London last year. He now plans to take a break, but says Rio 2016 remains a possibility, even though he will be 38 when the Games come around.
Rob was to the fore for the key stages of the race, and burned off his main rival, a Russian opponent, with just over 10km to go.
Donegal’s Brendan Boyce also took part this morning, and is coached by Rob Heffernan. He ended up in 25th.
