if he was a vegetarian he would have said so in his interview. if he was a vegan it would have been the first thing he said.
just like people that do x-fit - their favorite thing to do is tell you all about it.

Yuki likes to run. The first thing he will talk about is running.

Yesterday in Zurich, Yuki got his first win in Europe in 2:12 in atrocious conditions (think hail, snow, wind, about 35 degrees).
Impressive in itself, but that was his 60th career marathon, his 50th sub-2:17, 30th sub-2:13. And he only turned 29 last month.
Has anyone in history got a record approaching this?
Am american athlete would complain about the bad weather and drop out.
Yuki has true grit, determination to finish and compete. He runs to win , not to be the top Japanese.
He is comfortable at this type of sub 2:17 pace, its not destructive to him clearly.Given his durability and age I see him running 100 marathons sub 2:20.

If Yuki is considered a hobbyjogger what does that make Rupp with a marathon PR several minutes slower than Yuki? Less than a hobbyjogger?
Kawauchi has also ran faster than Farah over the marathon on multiple occasions. If you think of all the resources and money the NOP has behind it then you start to realize what an exceptional runner Kawauchi is.

And then there was the time he shaved all of his hair off to show his shame for disappointing his fans at the Tokyo marathon (for running a "shameful" 2:12). He seems to me like a combination of a rebel (unusual for Japan) and being very Japanese. Anyhow, he's great - one of my favorite runners of all time.
How bad would he destroy the road ultra scene? I'm thinking races from 50k to 50 miles he'd completely dominate. Could be a lot of relatively soft Ultra WR there for the taking if he wanted them.
He kind of reminds me of Yannos Kouros, just tough and relentless...legend.

Ultra running = Ultra joggers that stop to take a shit and have a meal during a race.
Yuki never runs less than 110% effort in any race he runs. That's his attitude. He'd destroy the course record there.He also set an unnofficial half marathon record in a suit recently. Something like a 1:06 lol

Eugene marathon is this weekend. He has a few days rest. He could win with a sub 2:20.
Or wait until November and win a super soft big city marathon in Seattle. 2:38 won it last year. Kawauchi could tempo it and win.
Yessss I love this dude, he's literally one of the best people to look up to as a runner - He always runs his heart out and has been running marathons since he was 22.
