Newly crowned world half marathon champion Peres Jepchirchir has turned her focus on Valencia Marathon set for December 6 following her exploits in Gdynia, Poland over the weekend. She bettered the women’s-only half marathon world record when she took gold in a closely-fought race. “My focus has now shifted to the Valencia Marathon, where I do not only want to win the title but also post a better time. Munene finished a poor 47th position in 1:02.30 at the World Half Marathon over the weekend in Poland. “Despite finishing a disappointing 47th position in Poland, this will be my motivation when I line-up for Valencia Marathon in Spain,” said Munene.
