Ride through the city to research stores and location scout.
Yuya Uemura works as an editor for a lifestyle magazine. He rides his road bike during the day, and uses his own legs to go to meetings outside the company and to visit stores for interviews. I try to go to the customer as much as possible," he says. By meeting the person in charge beforehand, the atmosphere on the day of the interview changes," he says.
Ran the Yoyogi area with my friend Eiji Hashimoto.
The base for the day was the running station "And Mosh".
In the second half of the run, the two gradually increase their pace.
He spends his days actively, and his running course is always random. He often runs in the city to research stores or for location scouting. Today I'm going to explore the Yoyogi area. It seems like a lot of unique stores have opened recently," he says.
I stopped by the Camelback Rich Valley coffee stand after my run.
Seasonal chocolate mint latte cools down a burning body.
On this day, a friend and I ran about 7 km around Yoyogi. After showering, we found a coffee stand on the way home and enjoyed a moment with the staff. I enjoyed a quick run, a hot bath, and some good food. This is one of the best parts of running," he says.
To find a good restaurant, to eat a good meal. For him, running is always just a means to an end. While many runners use different shoes for running and for everyday wear, Mr. Uemura says that he often matches his running shoes with his casual clothes as well.

Mr. Uemura chose "GEL-PULSE 11" ￥9,000 (right) by Asics.
On this day, he was wearing ASICS GEL-PULSE 11 shoes. I like the flashy coloring that makes it easy to tell at a glance that they are running shoes. If I'm going to go to the trouble of adding a functional item to my outfit, I want to make it look sporty," he says.
The bicycle is a light way to get to work.
Bike store "Blue Rag" visited for road bike maintenance. While waiting, I checked my e-mail at the counter.
Today, he is still lightly darting from city to city of Tokyo in search of tasty information.
