Kengo Suzuki, who won the Lake Biwa Marathon by setting a new record of 2 hours, 4 minutes and 56 seconds in Japan, said to NHK, "It's a great honor. I'll do my best to continue to produce results without being overwhelmed. I want to go. "

Suzuki, who became the fifth full marathon this time, recalled that the two scenes of over 25 kg and over 36 kg were the points of the game for today's race, which won the new record in Japan.



Of these, Hiroto Inoue, who won the gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games, set up the first 25 kg, but Suzuki did not chase.



In past races, even if you pulled in the lead group, the race that stalled at the end of the race continued, "Until now, I could not determine the point of the game and moved from an early stage. This time, I made use of my experience so far. I was able to control myself, saying, "It's still early."



Another 36km is the scene where Suzuki spurted.



The race was a battle between three people, and I was running at a pace of 1 km and 3 minutes until just before, but I accelerated to the first half of 2 minutes and 50 seconds at a stretch and separated the other players.



Suzuki said, "I was running while thinking about when to play the race, but I missed the water supply, so I decided to go at once and tried to fight. As a result, I put up with it without moving in the early stages, and as a result I gave it in the last 5 km. I was able to go, "he revealed that he played against the accident.



Also, regarding Tokyo Olympics representative Shogo Nakamura, who belongs to the same business group and missed this tournament due to injury, "Nakamura has the power to set up a game in this situation and decide with one shot. I wanted to absorb that power. This time I was thinking of doing what Nakamura couldn't do, "he said, and felt the size of his existence.



He said that he made a name for himself in the history of the tournament in the last race on Lake Biwa. "It is a great honor to set a new record in Japan. However, I will continue to do so without being overwhelmed by this result. I want to do my best so that I can leave it. "
