Podcast appearances and mentions of brett larner

Japan is one of the top countries in the world for marathoning. There are multiple examples of Japanese races with literally hundreds of people running under 2:20. Why is this so? This week, Brett Larner, the writer behind Japan Running News, came on the podcast to discuss the historical and cultural reasons that Japanese marathon fields are so deep. It was a fascinating conversation.

Vi har lenge vært imponert over populariteten og nivået på langdistanse i OL-landet Japan. Nå forteller ekspert Brett Larner, som har bodd 21 år i Tokyo, oss hvorfor det er blitt sånn og hvordan det japanske systemet fungerer. Hør mer om historien, stafettene som kalles Ekiden, tv-dekning, skolelagene, omfanget av sponsorlag, OL og værforhold, Covid-19 og selvfølgelig trening. Vi har også snakket med Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal som løp under verdensrekorden på 5 km. Både hun og treneren forklarer hvordan alternativ trening gjør at hun løper mindre enn noen gang, men er i sitt livs form.
