Sihanoukville Halfmarathon

On March 10., I ran my first half in two years, and succeeded in making the top-ten. Initially, the result showed me in 13th position, but it seems they caught some cheats. My time was 1:36:07, not bad on a hot and humid morning. Men's and Women's divisions were won by Germans, with Joerg Heiner beating Cambodian record-holder Hem Bunting by about 20 seconds to finish in…

Hakone Ekiden 2012

Again, in front of the TV, watching others run, but in the afternoon, it will be my turn!

Impressive performance by the two African students on the second leg, even if Nihon University took the lead only for a moment thanks to Benjamin's superhuman effort, just to fall back to 10. on the next leg. From then, it looked like Toyo Uni would safely win todays outbound race, but on the last leg, they were passed by the University for Physical Education and Waseda. Great effort by Hattori…

New Year in Japan

A typical Japanese New Year will always contain two things: Rice cake and Ekiden.

The corporate Ekiden in Gunma on Jan. 1., and the two legs of the Hakone Ekiden (pitching the leading universities against each other) on Jan. 2. and 3..

There are many good sites that feature the races, so I will not do this here. But I wonder if our members in other countries know what the worst thing in an Ekiden is? It is the 'white sash'! If a team does not connect because…

Turtle Marathon

A good time was had at this year's Turtle Marathon run along the Arakawa near Kita-Senju. Noone of us ran really hard, as it was a bit hot, but we are very grateful to the organizer for inviting us again. And Alistair and myself found a nice Tex-Mex place on the way back to the station that actually had two seats left for us! See you again next year!…

Tokyo Marathon on TV

As I have decided to watch the race on TV, I may as well write about how the top-runners are doing. In the early stages, a group of eight runners with Haile Gebresselassi and Japanese runner Masakazu Fujiwara followed the 2:58/k pacemakers, which actually slowed down to 3:02 soon. They reached 10k in 29:54, about the same time the last runners crossed the start…

Shibuya Ekiden 2012

Today a group of runners ran the annual Shibuya Ekiden in Yoyogi Park. I ran on the Namban Rengo Masters team, having moved up from a position as a substitute, and not feeling very comfortable about it. However, thanks to my teammate's efforts, we finished in 2nd, beaten only by the Shibuya triathletes, and ahead of our nemesis, the…

Frank Horwill

Frank Horwill MBE passed away at age 84 on 1 January.  He was one of the UK's finest coaches and was the inspiration behind some of the nasty sessions we do (so now you know who to blame...).

Tengu Trails 2011 in Takao

A great time was had by all at Takao this year, with Yoshi Ishikawa winning his age-group, Masako just out of the money in fourth after being passed by two other women on the downhill, and Christophe finishing in a remarkable 2h01 on the longer 18k course. Working on the video now, and more pics to be uploaded shortly!…

Turtle Marathon (half&10k)

Today, a bigger group of runners ran the Turtle half-marathon cum 10k at Arakawa River near Kita-Senju. This is a very big race, about 16000 runners, 12000 in the half, 4000 in the 10k.

As some of us went there by themselves, I could not get everybody's results, so forgive me if I start  with my own race, the 10k. My target was a 4min/k pace, so Takashi Nobukiyo, our…
