Brett Larner - Japanese Running News:
"Newly-appointed JAAF Long Distance and Marathon Development project leader Toshihiko Seko praised Kawauchi's aggressiveness in the race, saying, "That was running of tremendous value. It'd be OK if he's chosen [for the London team]." Seko also emphasized the fact that Kawauchi produced results off his training load, which included a 100-km run. "I think young people learned something from that," he said. Beaming with positivity at the conclusion of the first World Championships selection race, Seko said, "This was a good first step. I want to say thank you to Mr. Kawauchi."
OK, if Seko likes it, then it must be honorable training.
