Mutsumi Kamiya 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

Lynne O'Donnell 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

juergen wittstock 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

juergen wittstock Suedbahn Lauf 10k - Birstein, Germany

Today I ran this hilly, but very pleasant 10k in the rural hinterland of Frankfurt. It was a rainy day, and I was lucky not to get too wet on my motorbike on the way to the race. Start was about 40h after my plane touched down at Frankfurt airport, considered a reasonable amount of tim… Continue

Gerard Robb 東海大学　作文　レポート　東京マラソン

東京マラソン レポート ９ＡＧＲ１１０６ジェルド　ロブ 最近日本でマラソンがブームになってきました。それで東京マラソンは本当に人気になりました。ますます国際で国でも東京マラソンは有名です。 私は２００８年と２００９年に東京マラソンをでました。それで今まで東京マラソン体験よく分かります。東京マラソンの情報に述べて、色々があります。長さ４２．１９５キロです。東京マラソンのスタート場所は新宿の都庁前にあります。ゴールは有明な東京ビッグサイトにあります。コースでスタートからゴールまであちらこちらに通過します 特に「水道橋、皇居、日比谷公園、品川、銀座、浅草、両国、築地、豊洲と有明」です。コースから東京の色々景色が見えます。東京は面白い都市、コースに走っている人達には珍しい体験が出来ます。なぜなら、普通の日に東京マラソンのコース、全部あまり走りません、交通が多くて有名な道路に走る事は無理です。場面は祭りのように感じる、応援している人達が大勢だし日本のテレビが撮影しているししかもバンドと踊っている芸能人が聞こえて見えます。東京マラソン2009年度には三万五千人参加しました。申し込む事で父御籤が… Continue
