What you need to know:

  • Covid-19 pandemic negatively affects hotel business of the Keitanys
  • Women's only marathon world record holder reveals why she pulled out of Boston race that was later postponed

If you are familiar with former London Marathon champion Mary Keitany, the first thing you will notice when you meet her is the extra bit of weight she is obviously carrying.

Understandably, Keitany has been nursing a hip injury picked last year that has prevented her from engaging in any serious training.
