A friend of mine who also runs said that if time allows, she would like to buy local food in advance of a race and likes to enjoy it during a race as supplements. I think it's a great idea.
Although I make The Bread Runner as the main content recently it's because its name has a rhyme and it's easy to get started, an originl purpose of this blog is "Run+something" as it's written at the top.
先のくろがね羊羹も調べることによって昔習った八幡製鉄所のこととか、ちらっとでも思い出せば走る以上の何かを得ることになります。ラン+駅弁でその駅・地域の歴史勉強でも、トレイルラン+その山の植生、ラン+史跡めぐりでも、ラン+大会が開催される都市についての勉強でも、ラン+山手線一周で鉄道の歴史でも、何でもいいのです。また調べていくうちに、地元の方何人かと話も交わすことになるでしょう。何かしらプラスアルファで走るって、私は楽しいと思うのです。
For instance, about that Kurogane Yokan, at the moment when I remember a history class at the elementary school when I learned about Yawata Ironworks, it's already more than just running. Run+Ekiben can be studying history of that station or that local area, trail running+vegetation in the mountains, run+historic sites, run+city where you go to, run+Yamanote line about railway history, whatever would work. During your research, you may have a little chat with local people. Don't you think it'd be fun? I think so.
