Yoshihiro Okayama

Marathon

Goal:: I want to get revenge in the Okayama full marathon!
Message:: In the 1st Okayama Marathon, I was able to complete the full marathon in my first attempt.
In the second one, I completed the course in less than 5 hours, however, in the third to fifth marathons, I missed out on selection in the draw. Recently, I feel a sense of crisis over the fact that I haven’t been running or stretching at all. Each day I aim to do my stretching without fail and increase my running distances a little at a time.
