ATHLETICS Obiri reveals plans to extend her legacy in 2024 Boston Marathon
Defending champion Hellen Obiri has explained why she chose to make a return to the Boston Marathon as she gears up for the Olympic Games.
For the 2023-24 season, she continues her hot streak and she is the current leader of the Golden Boot race having so far netted nine of Manchester City’s 26 goals.
“In certain aspects, if I’m struggling, whether that means strength work, I’ll reach out to him. We had a really good conversation in March, and he told me some things I could work on where I could get an edge over defenders and stuff like that," she added.
“I think for me the sky’s the limit. I think there’s a lot more room to improve, especially when I watch back my videos. It’s about keeping my head down, working hard on the pitch, building good relationships with my teammates and just keep pushing on."
