thisI was unsuccessful in the Tokyo Marathon twice. Ever since I won the first race, I have been on a losing streak. I was unable to run the first Tokyo Marathon due to a sudden overseas business trip. In other words, I have never run the Tokyo Marathon.
eastern Japan (esp. Kamakura or Edo, from perspective of Kyoto or Nara)No one would disagree that the Kyoto Marathon is one of the factors that fueled the current running boom. Well, that is what makes this event even more difficult to compete in.
young (animal)I received an e-mail notification of the Tokyo Marathon 2019 General Entry Lottery Result (Failed) in the subject line of the e-mail. I didn't even have to open the e-mail to know that I was not selected.
long (great, swinging) strideI was very excited to hear from the Tokyo Marathon, but I did not have the pleasure of opening the e-mail. It is a somewhat emotionless communication.
Japanese dock (plant) (Rumex japonicus)But I have to admit that I was relieved when I was not selected. As a single-minded person, I pushed myself to do my best if I was going to enter the competition. If I had won, I would have had to practice intensely.
young (animal)The next tournament in 2020, an Olympic year. It will be even more popular and the magnification rate will be unceiling. But we will prepare well.
the mostOne of the hottest topics among runners these days is Suguru Osako. The other day, he set a new Japanese record in Berlin and won a 100 million yen reward. He is participating in Nike's Oregon Project and is expected to set more records in the future. His looks are also quite good.
young (animal)The shoes on the feet of recent record-breaking runners, such as those from the "Viperfly" team, are Nike's "Vaporfly 4% Flyknit" shoes.
first volume (e.g. book)The shoes are so popular that they are not available even though they cost nearly 30,000 yen. They are still waiting on the Internet. It is only natural that people would want to run in such shoes.
young (animal)The characteristic of Nike shoes is the thickness of the sole. This is a product typical of Nike, which has turned the conventional wisdom that elite runners wear thin-soled shoes on their feet on its head. Apparently, this highly resilient sole has a gear effect that allows you to run faster.
2nd note in the tonic solfa representation of the diatonic scaleI will get a new pair of shoes for practice, but first I need to get a new pair of shoes for practice. My current shoes are Asics thin-soled shoes that I bought on a whim. Whenever there are beginner and advanced models, I am a fool to choose the latter.
be beyond one's controlOf course, I am quick to try trendy tools. At one time, when I was told that barefoot was the way to go, I immediately swept Kinuta Park with Five Finger. One lesson I have learned is that I still haven't gotten over my calf injury habit from that time.
(before a noun) mereI chose the "Nike Epic React Flyknit" this time because I like the thick sole concept and also the coloring. I also feel like I want to wear them on a daily basis, which is a waste of money.
