Mountain runner targets Olympic marathon

Posted by simon on 12/6/2006 on simon's blog

"Five-time world mountain running champion Jonathan Wyatt plans to hit the road in pursuit of his Olympic ambitions", reports the New Zealand Herald.
"The 33-year-old New Zealander is targeting the marathon in Beijing in 2008 and believes a top 10 finish is not beyond him. Wyatt has dominated the global mountain running scene for the past decade, winning the fifth of his world titles in front of more than 12,000 spectators in Wellington last year....."
