As part of its efforts to improve the performances of Japan's top distance runners, Rikuren's new Long Distance and Road Racing Special Committee is introducing a series of overseas training camps for both established and developing marathoners. Runners and their support team members will be sent to abroad to Kenya, Ethiopia and the United States to observe the training methods and facilities of top international athletes. Beijing men's 5000 m and 10000 m Olympian Takayuki Matsumiya (Team Konica Minolta) will be travelling to Kenya at the end of the month for the first 20 day camp. Concurrently, a women's training camp will take place Feb. 2-26 in Christchurch, New Zealand, and will feature Mizuki Noguchi (Team Sysmex), Kayoko Fukushi (Team Wacoal), Yoshimi Ozaki (Team Daiichi Seimei), Yurika Nakamura (Team Tenmaya) and five others.
