But I heard that this is particularly effective in terms of praying for luck, so I wanted to visit the shrine for the year ahead.&nbsp;&nbsp;There&#8217;s this lottery called &#8220;Golden Victory&#8221;, shall I give it a try?\u3000Don&#8217;t be nervous &#8230;&#8230; Yay, great luck!\u3000It says, &#8216;There will be competitors, so you must move ahead of the pack in everything.&#8217;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sounds like a prediction for the race,&nbsp;&nbsp;ha ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3_DSF9513-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3_DSF9513-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3_DSF9513-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3_DSF9513-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3_DSF9513-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3_DSF9513-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to secluded shrines near Takeshita-dori, there is a state-of-the-art training facility, the RUNNING SCIENCE LAB. Hypoxic training, in which oxygen levels are adjusted to resemble a high-altitude environment, is said to be remarkably effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hypoxic training facilities are rare in Tokyo, so I run for an hour once a week at most.

Goldwin is the first place where I have felt that my time can be improved by my uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you head through the Shibuya Station area where DeNA is located and continue on to the back of Shibuya, you will find an area familiar to&nbsp;Tatezawa, who has been going to a treatment center in Yoyogi-Hachiman for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI usually try to be moderate, but occasionally I&#8217;ll have some cheat days.

It is like a sacred place where runners congregate. After returning to Yoyogi Park and running clockwise around the central square, I finished at the Harajuku Gate. In all, the course is about 5 km long. The point is to finish with a nice run through the lush green park.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6_DSF9450-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6_DSF9450-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6_DSF9450-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6_DSF9450-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6_DSF9450-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6_DSF9450-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tatezawa, who runs more than 20 km every day, was never out of breath and remained cool as a cucumber throughout the run.

First and foremost, I want to break the Japanese record and grab a ticket to the Olympics or the World Championships.
