"I always wanted to run and win big races like Loroupe. She is our neighbor in Turkana and we always share a lot. But it is time I ventured in road racing because after this race, I will try and qualify for the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast," Aprot said.
Aprot will not have a walk in the pack on her first shot at the road race. She will come up against compatriot Joan Chelimo (66:25) and Brigid Kosgei (66:35).
Meanwhile, Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge said he likes running because it keeps a doctor away.
"To me, running is life. I run to live longer and enjoy a healthier life. I always say: a run in the morning is like eating a fruit a day - it chases the doctor away. It is good for your mind," said Kipchoge, who is preparing for a third shot at winning the London Marathon on April 22.
"Running has given me so much. It has allowed me to travel the world and enjoy a good lifestyle in general. It gives me energy and motivation to target the next victory," he added.
