Today, 28th April, at Madrid Marathon 2013 race, Team Flexifitness athlete Tarandeep Kaur did us proud by doing 3hr 54min doing her personal best time for a marathon race by running in the Madrid Marathon. 

All went well until she was at the 18km mark, where an athlete accidentally pushed her while overtaking. She did a time of 1hr 45min a the half-way mark.

The only problem was that she had ankle injury sustained after the 18km run. There was so much pain that she was not able to push hard. The wind on the day of the run was 25km per hour.

Flexifitness Group would like to congratulate Tarandeep Kaur for her sub-4hr run in the Madrid Marathon. Well done, Tarandeep. We feel that she will be able to do a sub-3hr 40min in time to come. This is Coach Rameshon's prediction. In the long run, Tarandeep is capable of running a 3hr 30min.

Kiprop romps to record Madrid marathon win

MADRID: Kenyan Francis Kiprop won the Madrid marathon in a record time on Sunday as he crossed the line in two hours 10 mins and 57 secs.
The 30-year-old was followed home by compatriot Nickson Kurgat 20 seconds adrift with Ethiopian Herpasa Kitesa finishing in third.

There was something for the home crowd to shout about in the women's race as Spaniard Vanessa Veiga won in a time of 2:36.42.

It was the first time since 1998 that a Spanish female had won the event as the 33-year-old produced a wonderful final kick 50 metres from the line to edge out last year's winner Ethiopian Desta Girma Tadesse with Russia's Nina Podnevesnova finishing third.

The race was preceded by a minute's silence and runners wore black armbands in memory of those killed in the Boston marathon attacks earlier this month. - AFP
