Show Notes
Courtesy of sponsors Maurten, Agnes Ngetich speak to Podium ahead of the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, where she will race the half marathon.
Ngetich is threatening the world record over that distance, having already run 28:46 over 10k on the roads - the best mark ever. She also won gold at the World Cross Country Championships earlier this year but has unfinished business on the track - having recovered from fourth place in Tokyo to set one of the fastest 3000m times ever in Monaco in July.
Ngetich discuses her background, route into the sport and so much more.
