Mary Keitany Eager to Test Her Comeback in New York

New York City marathon will be her first marathon after her maternity leave. She has come back impressively with a great run and winning at the Bupa Great North Run event, but she still is not very sure how her body will respond to the 42km distance.
"Half marathon is different from the full marathon and I cannot say that I am using my success at the Bupa Great Run to mean that I am necessarily in great shape to win the New York marathon," Keitany told RunBlogRun in Iten, Kenya. However, one thing we can be sure is that she now feels ready to race and is confident about the training she has done so far.
She says that the reason she is going for the New York Marathon is because it was the major city marathon that was going to happen last in the year and would give her enough time to still train and built her confidence more after being out of training for such a long time.
"I do not need to put myself in any pressure being my first marathon after my long break. All I want is to see how I can now measure myself up against the elite runners and the former defending champions that will be there in the race," said Keitany, sounding as though she really won't mind any position she places there. She has no other specific goals in New York, besides going there and trying to win.
