As you might expect in a country
known as the land of the rising sun,
training during the peak of summer in Japan is a challenge when you parachute
in from the more tepid climes of Northumberland, UK. For the first two weeks
that I spent in Kyoto Prefecture, my new home, the daily high was 38C.
I have been fortunate enough to
find a fairly well maintained cinder track, which is only 10 minutes slow
jogging time away from my apartment. This bodes well for future plans of
training and PB breaking ways. However, the heat and humidity has so far made
it impossible to stick to the training schedule and split times that my UK
based coach has been emailing out to me.
Talking to the locals, they’ve said that this has been an exceptionally
hot summer in Japan. Temperatures are expected to cool to more manageable
levels, in October.
