Osaka Nagaiguchi Full Marathon Training Session for Beginners (大阪・長居｜初心者からのフルマラソン完走ランニング練習会)

Looking to take your running skills to the next level? Join us at Osaka's Nagai Park for an exclusive beginner-friendly running practice session designed specifically for those who have mastered 5km and 10km distances but are unsure about how to prepare for a full marathon. This event is tailored for individuals aiming to complete their first full marathon, as well as anyone looking to enhance their current training regimen.
The atmosphere at this gathering is akin to an adult sports club, where participants in their forties and beyond come together to improve their running techniques under the guidance of professional coaches certified by UESCA (Ultra-Endurance Sports Coaching Association). The majority of attendees are in their fifties, with a significant number being women who feel comfortable joining even as first-timers.
Each session offers unique training experiences that go beyond simple jogging. Expect to engage in stretching exercises focused on improving your running form, strength training sessions, and rhythm-based drills tailored specifically for the day's theme. This variety ensures you break away from repetitive routines and discover new methods of enhancing performance and endurance.
Led by Hiroshi Ando, a seasoned UESCA-certified coach with over 14 years of experience in guiding more than ten thousand individuals, participants benefit not only from his extensive knowledge but also from his firsthand experiences across various international races. His expertise spans multiple disciplines including ultra-marathons and sports nutrition, making him an invaluable resource for runners at any stage.
The event structure includes a warm-up session followed by targeted training activities aimed at refining your running technique. This is complemented with group runs that foster camaraderie among participants while pushing everyone to achieve new personal bests. Feedback from previous attendees highlights significant improvements in both performance and enjoyment, making this an ideal environment for those looking to break through their current limitations.
Join us on October 7, 2026, at Nagai Park as we continue our mission of empowering runners towards achieving their full marathon goals with confidence and support.
