Athletics: Jo Pavey wins second place at Great Ireland Run
JO PAVEY was thrilled with second place at the SPAR Great Ireland Run yesterday – her first competitive race since becoming a mother.
Pavey, who gave birth to son Jacob last September, stepped in as a replacement when Hayley Yelling-Higham withdrew due to illness and finished behind Scotland’s Freya Murray.
She said: “I’m really pleased with how things went, particularly as I was asked to run at the last minute.”
