Mara Yamauchi is looking to further improve at this year's WC Marathon in Berlin after her strong performance in London this spring. She had a look at the course and concluded: “I want to finish in the top three. I’ve been very close to the medals before, and this time I really want to win a medal as I know I can – I just have to deliver on the day. We will train in Japan (Tokyo and Nagano) until early July, and then in St. Moritz, Switzerland. We’ve been to all these places before and they are excellent for training. I am building up again now and I have one race planned before Berlin – the Sapporo half-marathon on 5 July in Japan.”Meanwhile Miki and Mocki are the hopefuls for the host country with Melanie Krauss completing the team.
