Ciara Mageean has had to hit her thirties to reach her athletics peak - just as her late beloved coach Jerry Kiernan predicted.

"Whenever I kind of think of the age that I am and the way I'm performing well, I often think back to what Jerry Kiernan told me back in the day," the county Down woman told BBC Sport Northern Ireland. "That kind of forced my hand about World Indoors," added the Portaferry athlete, who will celebrate her 32nd birthday on Tuesday.

While the indoor season didn't happen for her, Mageean and coach Helen Clitheroe have come up with "a bit of plan" for the build-up to the Paris Olympics, which will include the Down woman competing at the European Championships in Rome in early June.
