big-will 7 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Even I... am starting to exercise. Can't be getting to winter and getting short on breath. It's just not fun though is it. Must get into a routine though. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Takes a while to get into the habit I find but once I'm in that gear, I seem to be able to keep going. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I received an email yesterday confirming my place in the Tokyo Marathon in February. Any other SJers taking part? Pretty inconsiderate holding a marathon bang in the middle of ski season. Training through the winter is going to be interesting. Skiing counts as training right? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Full marathon? A friend of mine impressed me the other day by saying they took part in a marathon. Turned out it was 10km. Which is still better than I could probably do, but...... Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah, the full marathon. Have done a half before, but this is the first time doing the big one. It does amuse me that in Japan, anything longer than a jog around the block is called a marathon! Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have started jogging 4 times a week - well more like a quicki'sh waddle really - along the beach boardwalk, getting fit for and dreaming of colder places. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 did a couple of short beach runs recently, about 2 miles.

griller 9 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Glutton for punishment! Futsal -- what is that Tubby? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 5-a-side football using a slightly heavier ball than usual....developed by the Brazillians for their kids to hone their skills Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Interesting. Never heard of that. Not the heavier ball thing anyway. Is it the same size? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Its the same size but the ball has a smaller air bladder and has more foam to make it denser/heavier, it doesn't bounce as much. Most of the 5-a-side courts in japan tend to be Futsal courts Link to post Share on other sites
