Keely Hodgkinson interview: Olympic champion targets track’s ‘impossible’ world record
So, after Eliud Kipchoge and his “1:59 Challenge” to break two hours for a road marathon, perhaps a “Project 1:53” to beat Kratochvilova’s 1min 53.28sec? I believe I can go quicker.” After a phenomenal 1min 54.61sec two weeks before Paris, Hodgkinson’s pre-Olympic training in St-Germain-en-Laye – specifically, a tried-and-tested 2x400m session with 30 seconds rest between – gave a clear idea of what she could run: a late 1min53sec. “I’d love to be a four-time Olympian and let’s see if we can bring home medals from every single one. I like to work with brands I believe in’ Hodgkinson also has a clear-headed idea about how she will approach other life-changing opportunities.
