Sarah Healy, Sharlene Mawdsley and Bori Akinola among National Indoor title winners

Sarah Healy broke her own championship record en route to winning the women's 1500m title on day two of the 123.ie National Senior Indoor Championships, while fellow Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley also retained her 400m crown and Bori Akinola got the better of Israel Olatunde in the men's 60m final at the National Sports Campus in Dublin.

UCD AC's Healy ran a time of 4:08.74, which bettered the previous championship record she had set just 24 earlier in the heats. Lucy Holmes (West Waterford AC) and Amy O'Donoghue (Dundrum South Dublin AC) took silver and bronze respectively.

Speaking to RTÉ Sport's Greg Allen, Healy said her performance will set her up nicely for the upcoming European Indoors in Apeldoorn, Netherlands which will be broadcast live on RTÉ platforms from 6-9 March.

"I've done all the senior championships apart from European Indoors, which is slightly ironic given it's the easiest one to qualify for," Healy said.

"But I definitely have hopes. I know I have a chance at a medal but I am not focusing on that too much because you have to keep thinking about the process and train for the next few weeks.

"And I think you can want something too much and it can weigh on you so it's an opportunity but it's not the be all and end all of everything."

Healy added that training with British Olympic medalists like Keely Hodgkinson and Georgia Bell has been having a galvanising effect.

"It's the mindset, I suppose, seeing that they're normal people and everything. I train a lot more with Georgia than Keely, and Keely and I are quite different athletes, so our training looks different but with Georgia last summer I saw I can do a lot of what she does.

"We have different strengths and weaknesses, which is great, so she helps me work on
