Japan is the most runningobsessed country on earth. A 135mile relay race, or 'ekiden,' is the country's biggest annual sporting event. Thousands of professional runners compete for corporate teams in some of the most competitive races in the world. The legendary 'marathon monks' run a thousand marathons in a thousand days to reach spiritual enlightenment.Yet so much of Japan's running culture remains a mystery to the outside world. Adharanand Finn, the awardwinning author of Running with the Kenyans, spent six months immersed in this oneofakind running culture to discover what it might teach us about the sport and about Japan.As an amateur runner about to turn 40, he also hoped to find out whether a Japanese approach to training might help him run faster. What he learnsabout competition, team work, form, chasing personal bests, and about himselfwill fascinate and surprise anyone keen to explore why we run and how we might do it better.
