Courtesy of our sponsors Maurten, the Kenyan - who’s tipped to become the next men’s world record holder and the first to dip under 2 hours in official race conditions - talks to Podium in a rare English-language interview ahead of his London Marathon title defence. Sawe discusses the intensive drug testing he’s been going through to shine a positive light on Kenyan athletics after a number doping scandals, and whether he really can go as fast as people are predicting.
