The joy of running a new personal best over 42.2km at the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon is still overflowing for SA's prominent long-distance runner Melikhaya Frans.

Frans, 31, shed tears of joy when he ran 2:11:28 to finish sixth, a credible improvement on his last PB of 2:13:50 at the London Marathon last year, where he finished 21st.

"The Kenyans and Ethiopians ran together as a unit, and as a fellow South African, he pushed me to run faster. After the 39km mark, I dropped out of the leading pack and started to lose momentum,” he told Sowetan yesterday.
