With his 39th birthday approaching, Dr Boniface Oyugi is leaving nothing to chance. He has intensified his preparations. For the last two months, he has been working six days a week.
This morning (Thursday), he left the house at 5 am for a 10-kilometre run, after which he went to the gym for two hours of strength and core training. His face is pale and ashy from drying salty sweat and his training bibs are thoroughly soaked and dripping with sweat like a leaking pipe.
