[10.05.10] - After her phenomenal world record in the BIG 25 Berlin Mary Keitany looked ahead to her next big goal, which will be the marathon. The 28 year-old Kenyan had become the first female to clock a sub 1:20 time in a 25 k race, when she ran 1:19:53 on Sunday in the German capital. In her first race at the distance Keitany smashed the world record on the Berlin roads, improving the mark by a staggering 2:20 minutes. With this performance she has given another strong indication, that she is capable of becoming the world’s next great marathon runner.
