It’s January – it means the beginning of a new year, new chances new opportunities.
This is the time when people set goals and decide on their running calendars for the year.
To help you out, I have a series of episodes by 3 coaches to inspire you in the new year. You can listen to them on the podcast page.
In Tokyo we are in the middle of winter we hope to get snow soon. Winter also means skiing – a quick day trip out of Tokyo means a day of fresh powder a nice alternative to running.
Happy New Year! あけましておめでとうございます。
Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Trails in Motion screening in September! The event was hosted at Takao52 in Hachioji, a fantastic runner-friendly space.
We were thrilled to co-host the evening with Kiyo Fujishiro, editor of the Japanese edition of Trails in Motion, and Tomokazu Ihara, a seasoned ultrarunner who, as of this November, is on his 76th out of 100 100-milers in his incredible quest to run 100 miles 100 times.
Your support made this event a success, and we look forward to more memorable gatherings in the future!
