Cian Oldknow on her way to a 2:25:08 finish at the Seville Marathon
After a sensational marathon debut earlier this year in Spain and an impressive run in the recent Olympic Marathon in Paris , Cian Oldknow has the athletics pundits and fans alike talking about her incredible potential at the marathon distance . However , her journey to the top of the sport has not been an easy one , as we found out when we sat down with her for a post-Paris chat , but she is very open about her past , and the challenges she continues to face . And just like when she tackles a marathon , she is determined to take deep breaths and keep putting one foot in front of the other while moving as fast as possible . – BY SEAN FALCONER
