MUMBAI: Training alongside the legendary Eliud Kipchoge has put Philemon Rono in a confident mindset going into Sunday's Tata Mumbai Marathon. Though this is the first time Rono will be competing in Mumbai, the 31-year-old made his ambition clear at a press conference here on Friday.
"I'm well prepared for this race because I've trained since last year, so I was focussing on this race. My aim is to win the race on Sunday," said Rono. A three-time winner of the Toronto Marathon, the third of those triumphs in 2019 saw Rono set his personal best time of 2:05:00.
