Mark English has a knack for defying norms.
No such thing as a comedown the year after competing in his third Olympics. No such thing as age slowing him down as he settles into his 30s. No such thing as an Irishman looking out of place in a world-class 800m field and no such thing as an Irishman not breaking 1:44.
