• I Was Hoping!

To make things even more difficult, they did not have mile markers but only kilometers! My watch was showing almost a full minute over my desired pace for the first ten miles AND somehow lost a mile in the beginning of the race. There were a huge number of spectators along the entire course which was great! My family also was able to see me a few times on the course, which always makes me run faster and makes the race special. They were able to see me twice during the marathon at mile 18 and then at mile The course amenities were also different than what I was used to.

Of those, I used the water, Pocari Sweat, and a banana. The course itself markets itself as a blend of the past and the future, and the route does a great job showcasing so many cool things in Tokyo. It starts at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and passes a few large landmarks and notable areas, such as Shinjuku, Ginza, a few shrines, the Tokyo Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower modeled after the Eifel tower , and finishes at Tokyo Station.

Although I enjoyed the course, the rain and handful of hairpin turns caused me to slip and fall at the turn right before 20km, ouch! I also had more difficulty getting through the finish area of this race than most of the other large races I have done. We were instructed to go a different route depending on the color of the bib we had, but there was some confusion on my part. I completely missed the family meeting area for runners, and instead walked straight out into the middle of the course spectating area.

I had to find someone who could speak English and ask if they could text my family to tell them where I was and where to meet me.

One Dan's Journey to the Tokyo Marathon​

She agreed, and I went down into the subway down a few flights of stairs of course to get out of the rain and cold. While waiting for my family, a very nice group of Japanese people walked by and noticed I was shivering in race gear, and they gave me an extra heat sheet and a thick poncho. After putting the heat sheet and poncho over me, and they gave me a hot tea from the vending machine.

It was all an extremely kind gesture, and my family found me in the subway station about 30 minutes later.

With your latest run, you even hit the CRC Elite standard. What's it like to take that next big step in your racing? However, that positive split was the farthest thing from my mind though when I was approaching the finish line. I am very proud of my accomplishment in hitting the standard, it has been a goal of mine for a while. CRC: What has your training been like?

Everyone always wants to know what kind of mileage and workouts it takes to hit a breakthrough - what have you been doing? For this training cycle, I tried to get as high of mileage as I could every week for my week plan.

Another important thing when running such high mileage was having very easy recovery runs throughout the week, especially days when I doubled. In the meantime, I want to focus on shorter races this year as they take less time to train for and are easier to recover from than longer races. Hopefully, I will be able to set new PRs for the 5k to half marathon in the rest of ! CRC: What advice do you have for other runners who are looking to make their own big leap forward?

When I started running almost seven years ago, I would only run around 20 miles a week and have since been able to increase my mileage incrementally as time passed. Even if you have to slow down to run more mileage, I think any extra running is beneficial as long as you can avoid getting injured.
