Mary Keitany is a formidable marathoner. Her recent half marathon race at RAK showed her fitness, and her three wins in NYC and two wins in London show her amazing talent.
How fast can Mary Keitany run? I think that today, Mary will run near 2:17, more likely breaking the women only world record of 2:17:42, by Paula Radcliffe.
Mary Keitany is able to find a pace, a brutal pace, and stay with it. Her determination and focus are quite clear as she pushes the pace, very old school, and should battle with this fine field today. Watch our coverage of the 37th version of the Virgin Money London Marathon, starting up in seventeen minutes for the elite women.
