E. Kiplagat with possible chance NEW YORK (USA): When Edna Kiplagat toed the line at the 2013 TCS New York City Marathon a year ago, she felt a bit uncertain. The Kenyan was competing in her third marathon of the year, having won the 2013 IAAF World Championships Marathon less than three months prior and placed second at the Virgin Money London Marathon in April. Come race day in New York, her legs were tired and she finished 9th. This year, I just ran the marathon in London (winning in 2:20:21) and I reduced my training because I wanted to recover, so I had a good time for preparation. My training has gone very well. Last three weeks I went to run in Scotland [at the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run Half-Marathon, where she won in 1:07:57] and I ran almost to my PB so I am seeing everything is going well, I am ready for Sunday. Unexpectedly, Kiplagat finds herself possibly in the running for the 2013/2014 World Marathon Majors title after the positive test of Rita Jeptoo. Asked about Jeptoo, Kiplagat shook her head in disgust. I dont know, she said, repeating the phrase a second time. It was disappointing because she has been running and now when I heard it was very disappointing. Informs RRW.
