-Running history

About two years.

- Running pace

It varies depending on the season, but on average it's about three times a week.

-What made you start running?

My high school classmates and I talked about trying to run a full marathon together, and that's what got me started on running.

- Your favorite city or course where you often ride

I often run in Komazawa Park or on the riverbed of Futako Tamagawa.

- Average distance run per session

It depends on how I feel at the time, but it's usually around 5 to 10 kilometers.

-What has changed before and after I started running?

I started to become interested in my own body. I started to pay attention to things that I hadn't paid much attention to before, such as my bone structure, my exercise habits, and daily changes in my physical condition.

-Why did you choose the clothes and sneakers you wear while running?

I'm wearing "FuelCell Propel v5" by New Balance. It was recommended to me by the brand. The cushioning and springs are well balanced, and the ankles are well fixed, so I feel like there is less strain on my knees. I like it because there is no stress even when I run for a long time.

-Apps I use when running

I use an Apple Watch and an app called "Fitness" on my iPhone.

- Your favorite song to listen to while running (playlists are also acceptable)

When I run short distances, I don't listen to anything, but when I run long distances, I often listen to comedians on the radio.

- Running-related clothing and gear that you are looking at right now

I would like to try running shoes with a carbon plate, such as the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4.

-Cities and courses you would like to ride

Yokohama. The first full marathon I tried was in Yokohama, but I didn't have a very good result and it was a frustrating memory. So now I want to run comfortably again and update my memory.
