Tokyo Marathon Review: Stress, Sweat, and Star Number Five
Episode 39
Monday, 9 March, 2026
This week, The Back of the Pack Podcast is finally back in studio as we unpack the full experience of the 2026 Tokyo Marathon and the unforgettable trip to Japan. From navigating Tokyo’s massive train system and the marathon expo, to the friendship run, race morning chaos, strict cutoff pressure, crowded course conditions, and the emotional relief of crossing the finish line, we break down the entire adventure with honesty, humor, and plenty of hard-earned perspective. Beyond race day, we also share stories from the rest of the trip, including Kyoto, Hiroshima, Mount Fuji, sumo, knife-making, and the culture shock of life in one of the biggest cities on Earth. It is a full race review, travel recap, and post-marathon debrief all rolled into one, as we celebrate finally earning World Marathon Major star number five and turning the page toward what comes next.
