Road to Rio starts in Glasgow for Kiplagat

Kenyan women marathon champion Edna Kiplagat

Two IAAF World Championships title, one elusive Olympic gold. Ten months out from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Edna Kiplagat is ready to throw everything at the marathon medal she covets and the countdown starts at the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run in Glasgow today.

The 35-year-old will defend her title at the IAAF Bronze Label Road Race after the shortest of breaks in the wake of her failed attempt to make it three world championship golds in a row as she came fifth in Beijing in August.
