Docherty out of London Marathon<\/p><\/div>\n

Fiona Docherty has withdrawn from next Sunday\u2019s London Marathon with an inflamed left heal (retrocalcaneal bursitis).
\n\u201cAfter just coming off a great performance at the NYC half marathon in a time of 1h 12m 49s (two minute PR) things were looking great, only three weeks out. Then unfortunately the heel got inflamed and then it was too late. I had run out of time. I made the decision with my coach, two nights ago to not race, and take the recommended and safest option of, four weeks off training and in a boot,\u201d said Docherty.\u201cI have time to make that qualifying standard and there are plenty more races out there. It seems like a mountain to climb right now but these situations are to test us and I know every day and week will get easier and I will come back stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI now have Chicago Marathon in my sights, with some good quality road races and track over the summer in prep for it. I know the course well and have done 2h 32m 00s there so am happy to tackle that one as my strengths will shine through,\u201d said Docherty.<\/p>\n

However Kimberley Smith is looking forward to next Monday\u2019s Boston Marathon. She is in great shape following an uninterrupted period of training leading up to the race, including a New Zealand record half marathon of 1h 7m 36s in New Orleans in February and a win in the New Bedford half marathon in 1h 9m 50s in Massachusetts last month.
\nNew Zealand has a fine record in the Boston Marathon, Dave McKenzie won in 1967 in a then course record of 2h 15m 45s. Allison Roe won the women\u2019s race in 1981 in a then course record of 2h 26m 46s and Lorraine Moller won in 1984 in 2h 29m 28s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
