She’s won major marathons, world and European championship titles, and set up the renowned High Altitude Training Center in Kenya, but these days Lornah Kiplagat runs for more down-to-earth reasons.

Women’s Running editor Liz Hufton caught up with Lornah at last month’s Virgin Money London Marathon, where she told us about the value of training by heart rate, her new clothing range (www.lornahsports.co.uk), and the work she is doing to improve access to education and running facilities in Kenya.
