In Episode 9 of The Run/Walk Marathon Project, the second week in Japan brought a surprising turnaround in my build toward the Gold Coast Marathon. After struggling with fatigue, heavy legs, restless sleep, massive step counts, and the challenges of travelling in week one, my body finally started to adapt — and the running began to feel good again. This week included a parkrun, running around the famous 5km loop surrounding the Tokyo Imperial Palace — one of Tokyo’s most popular running routes — and taking in the incredible atmosphere around the Japan National Stadium, home of the Tokyo Olympics. At the same time, I continued travelling through Tokyo, Naha and beautiful Tokashiki Island, balancing marathon training with long days on my feet, tourism, and constant movement. The goal remained simple: stay consistent. But this week raised a new question… Could all the walking, time on feet, and adapting to difficult conditions actually be helping this marathon build? This episode is about resilience, adaptation, and discovering that sometimes progress comes from the situations you least expect.
