Marathon world record holder Dennis Kimetto tells SPIKES he thinks he can go even quicker. Get in!

It's what athletics fans' dreams are made of: the fastest ever marathon runner is targeting a world record at this weekend’s London Marathon.

Dennis Kimetto, who made history in Berlin last year by running 26.2miles in a record-breaking 2:02:57, revealed exclusively to SPIKES that he could go faster in the British capital.

Having touched down in the UK on Wednesday morning ahead of Sunday’s race, Kimetto believes the conditions are right for an assault on his own world record.

“Maybe it can go lower, maybe to 2:02:40 or 2:02:30,” the softly-spoken Kenyan said.
