Tokyo Runners Portrait with lululemon

As a style, "running".

The running scene is about to take off into a new movement that will incorporate a wide variety of cultures because running is a simple and straightforward activity. What is now being questioned is how to run and how to enjoy it. In response, Huinum, with the cooperation of "lululemon," took portraits of runners based in Tokyo. While exploring their reasons for running, we will also explore the state of the running scene in recent years.

-What is the appeal of running?

It is a place where both mind and body are refreshed. I started running track and field in elementary school, but unlike the sports I ran in then, now I run for fun rather than to achieve results.

What would be a good match for a -run?

Fashion. I enjoy running from the moment I choose my running wear and shoes. I like to think about how I want to wear these shoes and how I want to coordinate my clothes, and I think that's why I am able to continue running.

-What is your personal best and target time?

The one full marathon I have attempted was 3 hours 36 minutes, and I was disappointed that I couldn't break 3 hours 30 minutes, so sub 3.5 is my goal.

-What is your “Yet” (a goal you have yet to achieve)?

I have never run to the limit and would like to run until I get sick of it.

-What is your impression of Lululemon?

I was interested in this brand because I often saw people I thought were cute or beautiful wearing it.

-How do you feel about the comfort and design of the "YET Race Day Kit"?

It was very light. I wanted to use the jacket for daily use. The design and coloring are cute. I don't have that many patterns and I like the length, so it will be an instant hit.
