The Tokyo Marathon blog continues today. I’ve been thinking about the time schedule.

Tweakable Broadcast Schedule

I’ve also decided on a schedule for the tweakathon. But this schedule will be very fluid.

The day before.

  • 10時-12時頃:東京マラソンEXPO2011(受付)

On that day, the

  • 8時頃:スタート前、到着からスタートまで
  • 9時頃:スタート直前、スタート
  • 12時10分頃:中間地点、銀座付近(21km付近)
  • 12時20分頃:22kmのバナナ地点(22km付近)
  • 13時頃:雷門
  • 13時30分頃:残り10km地点
  • 14時頃:再び銀座(34km付近)
  • 15時頃:豊洲、東雲(40km付近)
  • 15時30分:ゴール付近(41km付近)※ここからはおそらくずっと中継するかも

Time to pass each point (barrier measures)

First of all, as a countermeasure against the « barrier, » you need to remember to keep the following pacing plan in mind.

  • 5km:10:00(飯田橋手前)
  • 10km:10:40(日比谷)
  • 15km:11:20(品川折り返し手前)
  • 20km:12:00(新橋)
  • 25km:12:40(日本橋浜町)
  • 30km:13:20(折り返し後浜町手前)
  • 35km:14:10(築地)
  • 40km:15:00(豊洲後)
  • 42.195km:15:30(ゴール地点)

It is no different from the last time that it is exactly noon at the 20km point (near Shinbashi after the turnaround), which is one reference point.

For the general public it takes a while to get started. Last time, the start time was about 9:25. In other words, the first 5km of the race is quite tough for me, considering my ability to distribute the pace later on. So, I had to run seriously because it was outrageous to go to the toilet in the first 25km.

To be honest, I’d like to see the time set to take these staggered starts into account. I remember that I emphasized this in the participant questionnaire when I participated in the race before…. Well, it’s no use complaining. I’ll just do my best not to get caught in the gate.

On the day of the event, I plan to set an alarm to remind me of this target time.

The above is the proposed time schedule.

You might think that I’m a bit overzealous. (laughs) But I’m a bad runner, so I might have to run just under the time limit, so this kind of planning is rather important.

今日から東京マラソンEXPOも開始!本番が近づいてきました。
