Edna Kiplagat is one of the most experienced marathoners on the global stage. A race like Boston Marathon, where the top marathoners in the world are trying to crush each other is the perfect race for Edna Kiplagat. This super star knows when to move and when not to move, and she should be in the thick of things on Monday.

BOSTON (USA): Former two-time world marathon champion Edna Kiplagat is targeting another podium finish in the Boston Marathon on 18 April, informs the Olympic Channel. “If everything goes well as per my training and my body responds well, I’m hoping to be on the podium (in Boston) or do even better,” she said. On when she will retire, she said: “I cannot say when I will stop. I know someday I will, but I am not done for now.”
