As long as you don't bother people naturally and take responsibility , you can do whatever you want.
Ibara:In terms of localization, there are more trail running stores and more groups and teams. I think it's a good community where people can teach beginners.
Mr. Ihara, you also lead a team, right?
Ibara:I am a coach for my team "Living Dead Aid Running Club" (Answer 4), and I offer private online coaching at Tomo's Pit.
You also organize tournaments.
Ibara:. I'm not interested in running a big race to begin with, I'm interested in doing something different. For example, I'm running aBackyard Ultra Last SAMURAI StandingThis year, we are holding this event in 5 prefectures at the same time, and I think it would be interesting to hold this event in all 47 prefectures at the same time. Since it can be run on a smaller scale, it would be easier to manage, and since they return every hour, it would be very interesting to place 47 fixed-point cameras and watch them live. Then the winners from each of the 47 prefectures would get together again for a national competition and fight to represent their prefecture. I would like to create a structure in which the winner of that competition would go to Backyard Ultra in the U.S. and compete against competitors from other countries. At first it is a battle of one individual, but let's support the winner of the prefectural competition at the national competition. I would like to see the winner of the national competition go to the U.S. and cheer on the winner so that he or she will not lose to another country.
Uchisaka:Representing the country . That's great.
Do you have any interesting ideas for your own challenges?
Ibara:The T.D.T. 100 is not a race, but an event. My first 100-mile race was the T.D.T. 100, which I created myself, so when I run my 100th 100-mile race, I want to run the T.D.T. 100. I want to run the T.D.T. 100 when I run my 100th 100-mile race, and I want to run it with 100 people. I will complete my 100th 100-mile race, but if 100 people run the 100-mile race on the same day, I will have completed in one day what I have been doing for about 20 years. It is as if I had seen it all on the same day. I want people to feel what it means to be tired after running 100 times, and I think it will be fun to see that we have been doing such a fun thing for 20 years, and also to feel the hippie aspect that the T.D.T. 100 is not a race in the first place, but something that started out as a self-made project. I want people to feel the hippie aspect of the T.D.T. 100, which started not as a race but as something that was created on its own.
I see, that sounds fun.
Ibara:The other thing I would like to do is to organize a prenatal running competition. . Having a funeral before you die is a prenatal funeral, isn't it? In this connection, we would like to hold a running competition before death, in which anyone over the age of 65 can participate, but there is a time limit based on age, and we will see who can run the longest.
Uchisaka:Only my age, can I get time? Backyard style?
Ibara:Yes, I agree. For example, if I were 90 years old, I would do 90 hours, but if I were 65, I would do 65 hours. . I would like to see which one can go the longer distance.
Uchisaka:I get a lot of time (laughs).
Ibara:For example, looking at the age of participants in the Hacettune CUP, the number of people who finish the race at age 60 or 70 or older is increasing rapidly, so I think it would be good to have such an event in another 10 years.
Uchisaka:As history continues to unfold, the age range of trail runners has expanded, and it is quite common for them to get married, become a couple, and have children. Rui Ueda's child is making his trail running debut with his parents. Naturally, the older runners are getting older, but I think it is a good idea for them to run before they are born, because they will not be timed out at the gate. . I feel that the world of trail running is expanding tremendously. People used to call them "mountain bikers" and beat them up, and they still do, but when couples or parents and children run together, it becomes so much softer. I think it should be more widespread, and I think it would be good to have such a competition.
Ibara:I think there are so many options for fashion, competitions, and fun now.
Uchisaka:As long as you don't bother the mountains and people, and as long as you can be responsible, you can do whatever you want. . I think that's what trail running should be about.
