Lornah Kiplagat who has been nursing an Achilles injury in recent weeks,
yesterday (Sunday 28 March) won the Parellloop (Pearl Run) in the southern
Dutch town of Brunssum in 14:47, beating Briton Paula Radliffe’s
unofficial world best time for the 5km on the road (14:51; 2003).
It is of course the second time in a matter of weeks that the Kenyan born
Dutchwomen has upstaged Radcliffe, who is the World record holder for the
women’s Marathon.
