大会当日までのトレーニング
約7年以上週3回、1Hの筋トレと0.5Hのランニングをしていたのでそのルーティンは変えず、大会出場が決まってから週末にジムへ行った時は上記プログラム+0.5Hランニングをした。
ランニングは元々9.5km/hで0.5Hだったので2セット走れば本番に近いぐらいの距離は走ったことになる。
また傾斜もかけて負荷を与えた状態にした。結局大会当日までに3回ぐらいしか走れなかった。
あとはYouTubeやInstagramで昨年の様子やポイントを確認した。
そこで印象に残ったのが、「去年初めて参加しました。当日までに10km走れたのは数回のみ。当日は周りの人たちも走っているのでつられて完走できました。」という体験談。
本当はもっと走り込んで参加すべきだったけど、結局自信を持てないまま本番が近づいていたのでちょっと安心した。
で、実際当日は本当に周りにつられて割と余裕で完走した⭐️
大会当日（走るまで）
案内には1.5H前には到着しているのが良いと書かれていたのとこういった大会が初めてだったので余裕を持って会場数分後に到着。
服装もランニングスタイルの上に適当に羽織る程度で向かった。
会場は割と人が多くて、協賛企業のブースに人が集まっていた。
こうすればよかったな〜と思うのは
・ペイントは並ぶのでしてもらいたい人は早めに並ぶ。（私は数分並んでできました！）
・今回フォトブースで写真を撮ってSNSにアップするとシュシュをもらえるイベントがあったので、こちらもほしい人は早めに並んだ方がいいかも！
・協賛企業のブースはほしいサンプルがあるのであれば上記終わった後にすぐもらう
・他はゆっくりでも大丈夫♪
・お手洗いはスタート直前激混み&並ぶのが遅れると後ろの方からのスタートになってしまうので適度なタイミングで行っておく。
※タイムはチップで計測されるみたいなので最前列にいなくても自分のタイムを測れるみたいだけど！
といったところでしょうか？
メルカリ
スタート
さあ、いよいよスタート！周りに人が多くてなかなか思うようなペースで走れなかった。（なんか曲がるところとか人が詰まっていた。）でも声援もすごくて外も気持ちよくて気分がいい！
給水スポットは全部で3箇所。最後のところでは塩タブレットもあったのでそちらもゲット👌
どうやらこの大会の時のみ明治神宮の中を走れるみたいで、神聖な感じがしてとても気持ちよかった！
一瞬砂利道があってそこは足を持っていかれる感じがしたけどあとは割と普通に走れた。
今回のコースは全体的にアップダウンが多いのでやっぱりそこはきついけど「気のせい！」と言い聞かせて走った笑
応援してくださる方が「坂ここで終わるよ！」「あとは曲がったらゴールだよ！」と声をかけてくれて、精神的支えがすごかった！
ゴール
最後の方で制限時間内に完走できそうだとは思えたけど、ゴールが見えてからは自分の持ってる力を全部出し切るかの如く全力で走った！最高！気分いい！達成感！10kmとはいえ頑張ってよかったな〜、チャレンジしてよかったな〜と思えた。
完走後
マッサージエリアで足のマッサージをしてもらい、あとはスムージーもらったり朝もらえなかった協賛品もらったり。
スムージーは結構並んでいたけどたまたま前後にいた人たちが話しかけてくれて他の大会の話とかも教えてもらえた。
この後アフターパーティーもあったけど私は疲れたので帰宅笑
総じて満足度の高い大会だった。また来年も参加できたらいいな🌟

Continuing from last week, here’s more on this topic. (Check out last week’s post here! ↓)
I finished the Shibuya–Omotesando Women’s Run! ①
Training up to race day
For over seven years, I had been doing strength training for one hour and running for 30 minutes, three times a week, so I kept that routine unchanged. After deciding to participate in the race, whenever I went to the gym on weekends, I added another 30 minutes of running to that program.
My usual running pace was 9.5 km/h for 30 minutes, so by doing two sets, I was able to cover a distance close to what I’d run in the actual race.
I also increased the incline to add more intensity. In the end, I only managed to do this kind of running about three times before race day.
Other than that, I checked last year’s race footage and key tips on YouTube and Instagram.
One comment that really stuck with me was:
“I participated for the first time last year. I only managed to run 10 km a few times before the event, but on the day, I was able to finish because everyone around me was running too, which kept me going.”
Ideally, I should have trained more before entering, but since race day was approaching and I still didn’t feel confident, that comment gave me some reassurance.
And in reality, on the day of the race, I really did get carried along by the people around me and managed to finish with relative ease ⭐️
Race Day (Before the Start)
The guide recommended arriving about 1.5 hours early, and since it was my first time participating in an event like this, I made sure to get there with plenty of time to spare.
As for what to wear, I simply threw something on over my running outfit and headed to the venue.
There were quite a lot of people at the venue, and many were gathered around the sponsor booths.
Looking back, here are a few things I wish I had known:
- If you want face paint, it’s better to line up early since there can be a queue. (I only waited a few minutes and was able to get mine done!)
- There was an event where you could receive a scrunchie by taking a photo at the photo booth and posting it on social media, so if you want one, it’s probably best to line up early for that as well.
- If there are samples you want from sponsor booths, it’s a good idea to grab them right after finishing the above.
- Other than that, there’s no need to rush—you can take your time♪
- Restrooms get extremely crowded right before the start, and if you get stuck in line too long, you may end up starting from the back. So it’s best to go at a reasonable time beforehand.
It seems your time is measured by a chip, so even if you’re not at the very front, your personal time will still be recorded!
The Start
And finally, the race began! There were so many people around that I couldn’t quite run at my desired pace. (At turns especially, it felt pretty congested.) But the cheers from the crowd were amazing, and running outdoors felt great—it really lifted my mood!
There were three hydration stations along the course. At the last one, they were also handing out salt tablets, so I grabbed some of those too 👌
Apparently, this event is one of the rare occasions when you’re allowed to run through Meiji-Jingu, which gave the whole experience a special, almost sacred atmosphere—it felt incredible!
There was a short gravel path where it felt like my footing was slipping a bit, but aside from that, I was able to run fairly comfortably.
The course overall had quite a few ups and downs, which made it tough, but I kept telling myself, “It’s all in your head!” and pushed through, haha.
The support from spectators was also amazing. People were cheering things like, “This is the last part of the hill!” and “Just one more turn and you’re at the finish!”—it really helped me mentally and kept me going.
The Finish
Toward the end, I felt confident that I would be able to finish within the time limit. But once I saw the finish line, I sprinted with everything I had left, as if giving it my all to the very end! It felt amazing—such a great rush and sense of accomplishment!
Even though it was “just” 10 km, I’m really glad I pushed myself and took on the challenge. It was totally worth it.
After Finishing
I got a leg massage at the massage area, then grabbed a smoothie and picked up some of the sponsor items I couldn’t get in the morning.
The smoothie line was pretty long, but the people around me started chatting, and I even got to hear about other races and events they had participated in.
There was also an after-party planned, but I was pretty exhausted, so I headed home, haha.
Overall, it was a very satisfying event. I’d love to join again next year 🌟
