Adapting well into road running former All Africa Games 3,000m steeplechase champion Ruth Bosibori is optimistic that once the coronavirus pandemic is over, she will offer a great show.
The former water and barriers had a successful career, running on track but changed to road running, which she describes as ‘a successful move.’
After joining road running, she won the Nanjing Pukou Women’s half marathon in 2017, went ahead to finish second in both Huai’an International marathon and was placed Majestic Mansion Jiulong lake international half marathon half marathons before taking a sabbatical leave.
“Since I joined the road running, I have had a successful outing and never finished in a bad position but after the coronavirus pandemic, I know I will be competing in various road races,” said Bosibori.
Now that there is an order banning group training, she does her training twice a day just to keep herself fit after recovering from stress muscle injury that kept her out of competition for the past two years.
“I have had an injury but now it has recovered fully, ready for competitions. Now that there is less training especially with groups, I do small training then I come home to relax and play with children,” added the 4th placed 2007 world championships runner.
The former Africa Championships 3,000m bronze medalist was set to run at the Kenya police Service championships but they were put off by Athletics Kenya and the government due to the pandemic said she the championships could have given her time to gauge her speed.
“I can not say that I really wanted to compete in Olympic Games but to determine how my other competitions would be. It was a good avenue for me to run against Kenyans who give quality training before any race across the world,” added the 2008 Olympian.
The two-time World Athletics Final champion competed at police cross country registering poor results but t was her return into a competition after the leave.
