February 25, 2009

German marathon record holder Irina Mikitenko will have her first start of the 2009 season next Sunday (01.03.) in Rome, where she is planning to run a halfmarathon. Her aim is a time of 70minutes. “For a personal best it is a little bit early now, because there are still 9 weeks time until the London marathon. And that’s the point where I have to be in top shape” she told the German press.
