The moment I tighten my shoelaces, the engine of the day kicks in.
With her tanned skin and toned arms and legs, Rika Ogawa, a fitness model, says she loves to move her body. Fitness model Rika Ogawa, who is as active as she looks, says she loves to move her body. This spring, she was chosen as the captain of a climbing club organized by a women's fitness media company.
After running, the body is treated with careful stretching.
She started her own activity to report on her own fitness experience. She was a short-distance track and field athlete in her school days, so when we asked her, "What is running?" She gave us a very unique answer.
For me, running is a way of life. I wake up in the morning, wash my face, and brush my teeth. I put my feet into my running shoes just like that. The moment I tighten the laces, the engine of my day kicks in.
The straight, moderately inclined overpass is a favorite running course.
Along with my friend Schmitz Monika, we took a course along the sea.
On this day, he invited a friend to join him for a run on his original 10-kilometer course. He concluded his workout by running as fast as he could up a 100-meter hill without pausing to catch his breath. I wasn't satisfied with the flat course, so I started adding a hill dash to the end of my run," he said.
Ogawa, who uses different running shoes depending on his running pace and mood, wears the "RIDE ISO 2" shoes by "Saqqani," which have been attracting attention from runners in recent years. The difference in height from toe to heel is small, so you feel as if you are running barefoot," he says.
Ogawa selected "RIDE ISO 2" ￥10,000 (left) from "Saqqani" and Schmitz selected "GEL-PULSE 11" ￥9,000 (right) from "ASICS. The design is popular for its ease of use in town.
I also like the light pink color, which is rare for performance shoes. When I'm out of breath and put my hands on my knees, I can see this color and it inspires me," she says. Today, she continues to stoically push herself with her special running shoes.
