The Plan for the Next Few Weeks

Right about this time in 2010 we started JRNPremium, a secondary subscription-based site with monthly in-depth interviews with some of Japan's top athletes and coaches. It ended up consuming more time than we had at the time, and we were unable to keep doing it after the end of the year.

Given the current situation worldwide there isn't much new to publish apart from waiting for the inevitable re: Tokyo 2020, so along with that and what current news there is, over the next few weeks we'll be republishing all the interviews here starting with 2012 Olympian Arata Fujiwara. Hopefully they're still good reads for anyone stuck in self-quarantine or lockdown. Your support is greatly appreciated.

His run put Osako back on top of the Japanese charts, put the average of Japan's 10 fastest marathon times of the year under 2:06 for the first time, and got him into the L.A. Olympics marathon trials. Valencia has been trying to get top-tier Japanese athletes to come for years, and now that they finally managed to do it it paid off in a big way. Expect more next year. Back home, former Takushoku University captain Derese Workneh won a 3-way race against Toyota teammates Kazuya Nishiyama and Bedan Ka...
