It’s now 18 years since I took up running, and 17 years since I completed my first Tokyo Marathon.
Little did I know then how it would come to change my life.<\/p>\n
Below you’ll find a selection of posts highlighting the technology I’ve used, and the adventures I’ve had as I’ve shared the experience first hand of running Japan’s biggest race.<\/p>\n

In 2025, for the first time ever, I didn’t stream the entire race – but just tried to for the last section (although the technology failed!)<\/p>\n
It was an amazing experience – I shaved 50 minutes off my personal best!<\/p>\n
