Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal will in 2025 bet on the marathon for the first time and have it as her main priority. She tells VG that. – I’m going for the marathon, it’s scary and a bit fun. It has always been something I want to do, she tells the newspaper. This summer, Grøvdal ran for EC gold in the half marathon and has for a number of years asserted itself internationally in track races from 1,500 meters to 10,000 meters. Most recently in the Olympics, where she came eighth in the 5,000 metres. Already after the Diamond League meeting in Zurich earlier this autumn, she replied that she would most likely run the marathon in 2025. – It is a new challenge, and I will probably still run both 5000 and 10,000. But I will probably switch a bit more towards the marathon, said Grøvdal to news in Zurich. Now she tells VG that she plans to run two or three marathons during the year, but also participate in other races. – I want to run other races, because it would be incredibly boring to only run two races a year, so I envision running 10,000 meters in championships, off-road races, street races and downhill races, says Grøvdal, who rules out competing in the marathon at the WC in Tokyo due to weather and humidity.
