Training/Races

Weekly Training Session
Our main group activity is a weekly interval track session on Wednesday nights. A typical workout is 6 x 1,000m, although on the last Wednesday of the month we do a 5,000m time trial with a Japanese club. At these sessions we generally have 20-30 people, both men and women, ranging from fairly strong to rather slow runners. The training is at a nice all-weather track between Harajuku and Shibuya. A locker room with showers is available. We generally start warming up about 7:00 and start the workout at 7:35 (time trial at 7:25). After the workout we go to Shibuya for beer and food.

Sunday Long Run
There is almost always someone planning a special run somewhere in or around Tokyo. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to run at their own pace, as much or as little as they want; oftentimes we organize runs to include faster and slower groups.

For more info, check the calendar above.

Monthly time-trials
For these events, you don't need advance application, but you may confim with the organizer by phone. Usually, it's less than 1000Yen to take part and there are several distances (3/5/10k). Apllication is usually until 8am, start at 9am, but this may differ, so, please see the Japanese links below.

Cartagena mystery



Cartagena 10K was a very important race for me. Because there is no chance to run a race in Colombia. So I prepared more carefully than usual. I ran the course the day before the race, and I visited the starting place 3 hours before the race. And I warmed up enough, I lined up 1 hour before the race to get a… Continue

HKDRC Half Marathon 2009 - 2009/11/8


Having completed the HKDRC Half Marathon 2009 ( 第32屆 香港 半馬拉松 ) in a slow time of 1 hr 56 mins+ in the slightly warm morning today.

Despite it's a slow time but it's already 7 mins+ faster than my time in the same race last year.

Enjoyed the run but h

Shonan International Marathon and 10k

I ran the Shonan 10K today. It was great race! The weather was perfect, the course is nice (and it is sponsored by Nike - an added bonus!) It is in Oiso and the course goes along the water. There is of course the marathon for those who like to suffer for a really long time. :) I finished in 41:16, not as fast as I was hoping but I will take it. I am a little unclear on my place, I was 6th or 7th, not quite sure. BUT - I do know that I was the fastest 40+er and one of about 2 gaijin - my husband… Continue

Nerima Hikarigaoka Road-race


I ran the 10k today, finished in 38:41, much better than last week, a good result considering the fact that I usually get up just 30min before this race started - so I was basically sleepwalking! I think I missed the podium by one position! Namban's Omar Minami was running among the top 10 of the half-marathon… Continue

Namban 10k at Arakawa


I really enjoyed today's 10k though the time (39:16) was not up to my expectations, but well, it was a bit hot. Great concerted organizing effort by the Namban bunch! Special thanks to Phil Ryan!
Congrats to all the winners!
Official results will follow at: Namban ReContinue
