ps Note : this is by no means a recommendation to train. Just for information purposes only, esp for those doing multi disciplinary sports.
Crazy results as he said he has had zero training for this marathon due to injury which he picked up @ Ang Kor Wat Cambodia marathon in early Dec.
He did post in the last update vid on Feb 8th that he only could do cycling/elliptical/swimming as cross training and also gym work for S&C, and zero running in the past month prior to that vid. But he also did mention he did go really really hard in those things. (there is a difference between a social recreational cyclist vs one who do it with any form of structure on a trainer - those 564km in January are possibly all quality KMs)
Though he also did mention in the Tokyo vid that his right hamstring didnt feel particularly good for the last 4km. But i mean, this could be anything also, pure runners also suffer from such things.
Also, really marketing Tokyo as an excellent solid holiday marathon destination, good for enjoying your run and chilling.
Anyway i dont think at around 17 deg C and 40-50% RH for the last hour 11-12pm, it's gonna be too warm for local runners, despite it being an unseasonally warm day.
Not a single drop of sweat here on Ben when he finished, of coz he came from Thailand and not from a temperate country.
Feb 8th vid. Actually not say high vol cycling also, just a decent amount but it shd be enough if it is quality sessions. Not sure about the swimming or elliptical.
