I wish that I had archived all of the material from
'Japanese marathon training' thread. There was some good stuff in there.
But we can rebuild. Germany did a pretty good job of rebuilding after the war. And so can Cool Running.
Anyway, I was going to post to that thread that there is a good article in the January/February 2008 issue of Running Times magazine entitled:
Where the Marathon Matters, Japan's Long-Running Tradition. It's worth reading if you want to understand Japanese marathon training.
Good luck.
P.S. And yes, I am still in love with Mizuki Noguchi.
