Good morning from Tokyo — in this video I’m taking you through a full running day in Japan and how I went from ~30 km weeks to building towards 80 km weeks. I start with a classic combini breakkie and then hop on a train for about 30 minutes to run in the outer part of Tokyo. I know it can sound a bit weird to commute for a run, but here it’s honestly pretty normal — and it’s such a fun way to see new places. I do my morning session as fartlek/intervals by the Tama River (sunny November Tokyo feels unreal when you’re used to rain), then I show you the post-run eats and the little recovery bits I’m prioritising. Later, I head into the city for a midday reset and an easy second run (hello, Yoyogi Park). I used to hate running in the afternoon, but now I genuinely love it — especially on double run days when I can’t be bothered with jeans/pants and just stay comfy. The biggest takeaway is that my “rapid improvement” hasn’t come from smashing every session; it’s from training harder and more frequently while also taking food, sleep, electrolytes, and general recovery way more seriously. I also share my favourite dinner (I eat it 5–6 times a week because I’m a creature of habit), plus a sweet coconut treat moment to end the day.
