However, here’s the question. Why do we get faster by training? I know this question is strange. Everybody knows that you’ll get faster more or less if you train yourself. But most people cannot answer how they get faster by training. If you don’t know this, you cannot think about what kind of training the best is because if you don’t know the mechanism, you...]]></description><link>https://www.japanese-running-coach.com/post/the-mechanism-of-getting-faster</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f46733a8c272568cdfed2a</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 03:45:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>秀志 池上</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could not get top 8 at the Nagano Marathon because I was stupid. ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hi guys, it’s me Ikegami. Yesterday, I ran Nagano Marathon. I was aiming at top 8 and standing on the podium. However, I was 36 seconds slower than the 8 th  runner and also time wasn’t as fast as I expected. The time was 2:22:34 although my training was as good as 2:18 plus minus 1 minute. Today, I will write more details and what my faults were so that you can learn something from my mistakes.

However, the more you increase the external training load, the more risks you have getting injured basically. So, if you want to run faster, you need to avoid injury, in other words, you need to strengthen your body to stay injury free. And more importantly, if you cannot stay injury free, you cannot enjoy running. Does that make sense?

I mean, in Japan there are clear 4 seasons and in the Autum and the Winter it’s marathon season while in the Spring and the Summer, there is almost no race. Of course, it depends on area though.

If I ask you ‘What is the most common mistakes amateur runners make?’, how can you answer that question? First of all, how can I call it a mistake? If it’s a ball sport, there is an error. However, officially speaking, there is no error in long distance running and full marathon. There is an error in 4x100m relay and there is a foul in throwing events and jump events.

First of all, what is long run? I mean, everybody knows that long runs are running long, but my question is how long? My answer is, if you feel it is long, then it is a long run. Or, if you run more than usual, for example, if you run 70km a week regularly, then the average is 10km a day, then if you run 15km, it is a long run based on my definition.

The history of interval training. Historically speaking, interval training was invented in 1950s by an East German scientist.
