"I must say 2016 was a great season and I hope to uphold the same form into the coming season," said Obiri. "Records are meant to be broken, I will take my chance and see if I can lower Dibaba's record."

However, before making that attempt, Obiri will want to recapture the 3,000m world indoor title during the championships in March 1-4 in Birmingham before focusing on the Commonwealth Games due April 4-15 in Gold Coast, Australia.

Obiri won the 2011 world indoor 3,000m title in Istanbul, Turkey, settled for silver in 2017 Sopot, Poland where Genzebe Dibaba beat her to the top spot.

She finished sixth in 1,500m at the 2017 Glasgow Commonwealth Games where the reigning Olympic and world 1,500m champion Faith Chepng'etich ruled the roost.

"I want to reclaim by indoor title before attempting the 10,000m crown at Commonwealth Games," said Obiri.

However, the Africa Senior Championships planned for August 1-5 in Assaba, Nigeria may also interest her depending on her schedule.
