Kenyan Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge said his goal is to lower his personal best time ahead of the Berlin Marathon in September. In what might be viewed as a thinly veiled plan to smash the world record on his fourth attempt at the Berlin Marathon course, Kipchoge said he is keen to lower his personal mark, which is 2:03:05 he set by winning the London Marathon, reports Xinhua news agency.

Although he went on to run 2:00:25 in Italy in a controlled setting, the time has not been ratified by the IAAF. The 33-year-old Kenyan has won all nine marathon competitions he's entered except in Berlin in 2014.
