“But I will still push myself as hard as I can,” he explains.
Makeleni finished last year’s Two Oceans Marathon in 4 hours and 3 minutes.
“I am also using this time to prepare for the Comrades Marathon in June.
“This year I have decided to sign up for the down run.”
He says he can finish that race in 9 hours and 15 minutes.
Makeleni has already left for Cape Town.
The 56km Two Oceans Marathon starts at Newlands at 6.30am on Saturday, March 31.
