The New Year comes with new runners in branded outfits, chasing flirtatious resolutions. Running is a labour of love. David Thuo, an aircraft engineer, has been running for 19 years for recreation. What started as a hobby has now morphed into an intense passion for the 42-year-old, an unbridled need to push the body and attain optimum physical condition.
He has ran in most of the famed marathons around the world; Comrades, Two Oceans in South Africa, London, New York, Chicago, Boston, Standard Chartered and Lewa. Last year, he ran a total distance of 3,840 kilometres, averaging 74 kilometres weekly and burning 239,770 calories. [He has an app that does this math].
