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.

Kanagawa Half Marathon (The supporting 10K).

My first race with Namban, and a thoroughly enjoyable experience it was too. I only ran the 10k however I was very happy with my performance because I took 3rd in my age group (40-49) ,. and my time 35:30, despite the windy conditions, showed that I`m on course in my training for a marathon in April.

Nevertheless I had a wo

Nanken Ekiden/Asaka


Yesterday, six of us ran this small, but extremely competitive event. I ran fourth, so I watched the first-leg-runners, and, whouw, these guys were smokin'! It seems that this race features high-school/university runners from schools who don't make it to the very big events - but they are still really fast.… Continue
