NAIROBI, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge said Tuesday that he is ready to break the limits once more when he lines up at the London Marathon on April 28.

The 34-year-old Kenyan believes he is in top shape and will chase two birds with one stone in London. He intends to win his fourth London Marathon crown and improve on the course record.

Kipchoge, who won the 2016 London Marathon in a course record 2:03:05, said in Eldoret that it is possible to break the world record, but he will not be keen to attain this goal, just yet.

Two years ago in London, Kipchoge was eyeing to break the world record at the time of 2:02:57 of compatriot Dennis Kimetto but failed missing out by a paltry five seconds. In the end he set a course record.

"I can say that London has a beautiful course and I am working hard to keep pushing the limits. I want to run a race that actually all the fans will truly enjoy. I'll try to break the limits again," Kipchoge said.

Despite smashing the world record at the Berlin Marathon last year clocking two hours one minute and 39 seconds, Kipchoge said he believes he can still run faster.

Kipchoge credits his coach Patrick Sang for the success he has had so far in the marathon circuit.

"They say when great minds come together, great things happen," he added. However, Kipchoge was cagey on his prospects of running at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar in October, saying he plans one race at a time.
