High School Cross Country Running Japan vs. America
It's well known that the depth of Japanese marathoners far surpasses that of American runners, so I wanted to find out why. The answer is multifaceted but really starts with high school training.
I was able to get some details of how they train and found out that all the top Japanese high school runners are training more than 80 miles a week and focused on maintaining 3 minutes per kilometer in their speed work and races. The result is that HUNDREDS OF JAPANESE HIGH SCHOOL RUNNERS GO SUB-15 IN THE 5K EVERY YEAR.
In this video, I also take a look at how the best U.S. high schoolers from the NXN National Team Championships would fare against the top Japanese High School Teams. It wasn't so close, so I then compared how those Japanese High Schoolers did versus the best NCAA Division 1 cross country teams- NAU, BYU, Portland, University of Colorado, and Stanford. The results might surprise you...

Running at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, JAPAN (東京ラン)
A winter run in downtown Tokyo around the Imperial Palace. This beautiful 5km loop is a great place to see the city and many other runners as well. Our group had an easy and enjoyable run; special thanks to Ishida for showing us around the city.
My book, The Runner's Guide to Travel is packed with great info on travel running!
