IN TRAINING
Speaking about training during Covid-19 lockdown last year, Scott, from outside Hacketstown in Co Carlow, quipped: “I live in a rural area so I’ve been self-isolating for most of my life.”
She said: “My sleeping pattern isn’t perfect and I’ve had days when maybe what I’ve eaten hasn’t been perfect but I’ve tried not to be too strict with myself during the pandemic because otherwise I’ll get exhausted. “You do miss friends and things like that but training has been fine. “The only thing that I haven’t been able to do is sprint or do hurdles on a track.
