Two in a row European Cross country Champion Fionnuala Britton from Wicklow and European 400 metres hurdles finalist Jessie Barr from Waterford are continuing their preparations for another busy year.

Both Britton and Barr are looking at the European indoor Championships in Sweden at the end of February while Britton will compete in the World Cross country Championships in Poland in March.

Oisin Langan caught up with both at the launch of the “New Balance” footwear sponsorship of the Irish athletics team this week.
