In this IMO episode, I explain why I am seeking legal action against Brett Larner from Japan Running News over what I believe has been a sustained campaign of online harassment, false reporting, inflammatory articles, and ongoing anonymous forum-style attacks. This week, I was denied the chance to run for a charity at the Gold Coast Marathon, with Brett's articles specifically referenced as part of that decision, and this has been the final reason I feel legal action is now necessary. Links: Coaching: https://sweatelitecoaching.com/matt-fox/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SweatElite Supporters Club: https://sweatelite.co/supporters-club/ In this episode, I talk through the full story from my time in Japan, including the detention situation, the media coverage that followed, and the way I believe the story has continued to be framed unfairly. I also discuss how these articles have affected me personally and professionally, including the recent Gold Coast Marathon charity rejection. I also give some broader updates on training, my return to running, parkrun, weight goals, and my plans for the Melbourne and Sydney Marathons. Later in the episode, I break down the origins of the media situation, the Ageo Half entry mix-up, the race ban fallout, the cannabis context, the online forum discussions, and why I now believe legal action is the only way forward.

Born in Canada and educated mostly in the United States, Brett Larner has lived and run in Japan for the last 30 years. There, he began JapanRunningNews.blogspot.com to help the English speaking world understand more about the whys and hows of Japanese running.There's a lot to learn. After the East African countries, Japan has long led the rest of the globe in marathon success. For a time, Japanese running was mainly confined to a number of smallish, but super-elite annual marathons. However, the rapid growth of the Tokyo Marathon, now a World Marathon Major, has introduced mass participation running to a culture already attuned to elite competitions. Larner explains a number of historical reasons for Japanese success, especially among male runners. These include the unique ekiden relay races so popular in Japan, especially one--the Hakone Ekiden, at the beginning of each New Year--that rivets the entire country much as the Super Bowl does in the U.S.Also, Japan has a system of corporate running teams where the athletes are actual company employees and not just sponsored superstars. This system may encourage more everyday runners, and even non runners, to become supporters of the country's best distance elites.You can learn more about Brett Larner at the above website, or from his JRNHeadlines account on X.com.WHERE TO FIND "RUNNING: STATE OF THE SPORT"Use your smartphone to download our podcast from Apple, Spotify, Pandora, or YouTube Podcasts.

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.

Почему японцы так хороши в беге? Сотня бегущих половинку из 64-х минут на одном старте внутри Японии? Изи. Пара десятков японских марафонцев начинают первую половину марафона в Токио на 63 минуты? Взгляните ещё и на Фукуоку, это типичная история для Японии. А может они зафарились все, как черти, поэтому так прут на местных стартах и не выезжают никуда за пределы страны? А африканцы, которые бегают за корпоративные команды, как к ним относятся в Японии? А деньги? На что живут японские легкоатлеты «средней ноги»? И как повлияют сумасшедшие вложения в марафонцев в предверии ОИ? Вы ведь помните про бонус в миллион долларов за национальный рекорд? Хитоми Нийя❤️ Вопросов про Японию стало так много, что пришла пора поговорить про суши фром Джапэн с человеком, который реально компетентен в теме. Знакомьтесь, Брет Ларнер, создатель лучшего англоязычного блога про лёгкую атлетику Japan Running News. Бретт живёт в Токио уже более 20-ти лет и является настоящим кладезем знаний, и именно с ним я решил поговорить о том, как Япония стала одной из самых беганутых стран мира. Отдельное спасибо Антону и Камиле, благодаря которым этот подкаст вышел в свет. По сравнению с ними, я вообще нифига не делал.

Yuki Kawauchi, Japan's citizen runner. My thanks to Brett Larner of Japan Running News, for helping me connect with Yuki, and Yoshimi Kobayashi of Destination Gold Coast for translating our conversation.

Julian's jogging along with the 2 year anniversary of Run Club and hits the trails of Anglesea. Brad's bouncing after pacing Gold Coast despite contending with the headwind for the reps session, plans his racing for 2018 and family Brady comes down from Byron to race half the distance at Sandown and the campaign for the Berlin Marathon officially begins with some intense banter. NSW XC Champs were held at Wollongong with Bankstown taking the points over Sydney University, Jordan Gusman once again taking out another win while Paige Turner took line honours in the women's race. http://nswathletics.org.au/News/waratah-series-short-course-cross-country-gusman-again http://nswathletics.org.au/News/waratah-series-short-course-paige-powers-to-win Listener Question of the week asks the boys for recommendations in books and social media and the return of Moose is Confused as the boys scratch their heads after the call to halve the race at Sandown, assessing the nuances of the decision & future implications. This week's guest is Brett Larner, the man behind Japan Running News chatting with Brad about how he started with the website and his involvement with the Japanese running scene. Brett gives insight into the culture around running in Japan and the depth of talent, especially around the half marathon-distance and the national significance of the Hakone Ekiden. He goes on about how Japanese athletes develop through both the education and corporate levels and how they look to progress in the future.  Brett also talks about his relationship with Yuki Kawauchi, with the particular focus on the leadup to the 2018 Boston Marathon and what drove Yuki's decision to follow professional running.
