What made you start running?
. Actually, I was on the track team until high school, so I have been running for a long time. However, after entering college, I stopped running altogether and started running again when I entered the workforce. I resumed running because I was just starting out as a photographer, and I had no money and nothing to do, so I felt lighthearted. . It was more of a refreshing or meditative feeling than a desire to work out in particular.
. However, you seem to be a very serious runner, having participated in many full marathons.
When I started running, I had not decided to run a full marathon. But I just happened to win a full marathon that I applied for by accident. I guess I had not forgotten the feeling of running as a club member when I was a student, and I was eager to do it seriously. At that time, a senior in high school invited me to join a running club, and I did 15 runs of 300 meters or something like that, just like in club activities (laughs). These days, out of the three or four times a week, one or two of them are hard workouts, but the rest are fun days, and sometimes I run with a lot of other members of the running community.
What do you think is the joy of running?
It is still the same today as it was when I started, but I enjoy the fact that I get back what I put into it, and I feel a sense of accomplishment. Also, there are many people who share my feelings, and it is interesting to be able to communicate with them regardless of age.
What do you think of the "GEL-KAYANO26" running shoes by ASICS that you wore today?
I like the moderate firmness of the sole, the cushioning, and the feeling that I am running on my own feet. I used to wear ASICS shoes during my club activities when I was a student, and I trust them very much. As you would expect from a sports brand with a long history.
