ATHLETICS NEWS - Mary Keitany has set her sights on breaking Paula Radcliffe's world record at the London Marathon this year and will run with male pacemakers as the Briton did when she set the mark of two hours, 15 minutes and 25 seconds at the event in 2003.
Kenyan Keitany, 36, clocked 2:17:01 to break Radcliffe's women-only marathon world record en route to her victory in London last year and is looking to rewrite the record books once more.
"I know the record was set by Paula Radcliffe on this course in 2003 and that she is a popular person in Britain, but I really hope the London crowds get behind my challenge and can help drive me on to achieve something incredible," Keitany said.
