It is apparent that some of the athletes that competed in the Olympics are very early on in returning to training, notably Ririka Hironaka and Mao Ichiyama. They probably took a well deserved break post Olympics.

What a super effort by Sayaka Sato in the 10000m. Her effort was amazing and the time was good given the conditions. Her 8th km surge was wonderful. I'm really looking forward to how she progresses in the Exiden this year and next and in her next marathon.

The level just keeps going higher and higher , hitting the point this year where there are teams with 10-runner averages of 13:33.10 for 5000 m, 27:55.98 for 10000 m, and 1:01:20 for the half marathon. It's never been better, and with great weather in the forecast it's safe to say this could be one of the best races in Hakone's 102-year history, especially on Day One. If you've seen it then you know NTV's live broadcast is the best sports broadcast in the world, with the pre-race show kicking off at 7:00 a.m. Japan time on the 2nd and 3rd and the race starting at 8:00 a.m. sharp. If you've got a VPN you should be able to watch it on TVer starting at 7:50 a.m. on the 2nd , and again at 7:50 a.m. on the 3rd . There's even a 2-hour high...
