On the first day of the 2010 National Jitsugyodan Track and Field Championships, Sept. 24 at Niigata's Big Swan Stadium, Kenyan ace Paul Tanui (Team Kyudenko) emerged victorious in the men's 10000 m with an excellent time of 27:22.32, outkicking sub-27 man Josephat Ndambiri (Kenya/Team Komori Corp.) by less than second. Top Japanese honors went to former Toyo University captain Tomoya Onishi (Team Asahi Kasei) who ran a massive PB to finish 5th in 27:50.72, the best time of the year by a Japanese man and the fastest ever by a Japanese man at the Jitsugyodan Championships. Masato Kihara (Team Kanebo) and Takuya Fukatsu (Team Asahi Kasei) joined Onishi in going under 28 minutes for the first time, Kihara's time of 27:52.75 also under the previous Japanese meet record. Altogether nine men ran in the 27-minute range.

In the women's 10000 m, November's Asian Games 10000 m team member Ryoko Kizaki (Team Daihatsu) took down 3000 m, 5000 m and half marathon national record holder Kayoko Fukushi (Team Wacoal) in the final 100 m to win the 10000 m A-heat in 32:16.40. B-heat winner Yuka Takashima (Team Denso) was not far off the A-heat winner's level, taking the 'slower' heat in a PB of 32:22.93.

Marugame, Beppu-Oita and More - Weekend Preview

After the Osaka International Women's Marathon and Osaka Half Marathon last weekend Japan's winter road season rolls on with 3 big races Sunday. The Kagawa Marugame International Half Marathon has a good field up front in the women's race with 5 runners, Eilish McColgan , Dolphine Omare , Isobel Batt-Doyle , Charlotte Purdue and Yuka Ando , with sub-1:09 bests and the debut of #1 collegiate runner Sarah Wanjiru of Daito Bunka University . 3 men in Marugame have recent sub-60 times, Emmanuel Maru , Richard Etir and Kotaro Shinohara leading the way. Shinohara was one of 2 Japanese men to break 60 at Marugame last year and missed the NR by 3 seconds in 59:30. After a 42:53 CR on his 15.3 km leg at the New Year Ekiden on Jan.1, 45:06 pace for 10 miles, he's looking to pick up at least another 4 seconds this time around. 14 other men in the field are at the 60-minute level, and Chuo University 's sub-28 10000 m runner Yamato Hamaguchi is making a highly anticip...

Etir Breaks Marugame CR, Catrofe Sets Uruguay NR, Omare 3rd-Straight Win

On the one hand it was too windy for really fast times at the Marugame Half , but on the other it wasn't, apparently. It was pretty much a strong tailwind over the first 10 km and just a strong a headwind over the last 10, so it wasn't a surprise that the lead group of men went through 5 km in 13:59 and 10 km in 27:51. Up front in it were 59:30 collegiate record co-holders Richard Etir and Kotaro Shinohara , and sub-59:30 guy Emmanuel Maru . But with the National University Half Marathon having moved to Marugame last year there were a million fast Hakone kids up in it to, Hiromichi Nonaka from Koku Gakuin University leading the way but lots more right behind. Etir and Maru opened up on the field after the turnaround, and by 15 km Etir was alone, 9 seconds ahead of Maru and on sub-59 pace running into the wind. Like everyone else he struggled to keep pace in the wind, sub-59 slipping away but easily taking the win in 59:07, a CR and new collegiate record by 23 seconds. Maru e...
