Understandably, Keitany has been nursing a hip injury picked last year that has prevented her from engaging in any serious training. Keitany told Nation Sport that she has been treating the hip injury since then. She lined up for the New York Marathon against the advise of her doctor and is paying the price for that. AdvertisementIn the new season, Keitany was to debut in Boston Marathon in April but she pulled out because the hip injury, that had been aggravated in New York and just could not heal, seriously affected her preparations. I saw it wise to take a break this season,” said Keitany, who is also the world record holder in a women’s only marathon.
