Benson Kiplangat

Team SUBARU placed 2nd in the National Corporate Ekiden in 2022, which was its highest-ever ranking. “Ekiden" is a very unique running culture in Japan. Many Kenyan athletes in Japan experience this Japanese Ekiden culture. Many of Japan's corporate teams usually have two Kenyan athletes in one team. We would like to introduce two Kenyan athletes who played important roles for the team last season. They have been training in Japan. In particular, newbie Benson Kiplangat is a gold medalist in the 2021 Nairobi U20 World Championships in 5000m. He is now aiming to represent Kenya in the 2022 Eugene World Championships in 5000m this year. We also talked with coach Wataru Okutani, and filmed the training sessions of Ryuya Kajitani and other SUBARU’s athletes. The workout: Kiplangat, Rolot: 15 x 400m with 200m jog recovery Kajitani, Mafune: 3 x (3 x 300m) with 200m jog recovery / SR400m jog -- -- -- 創部54年目のSUBARU陸上競技部は、21回目の出場となった2022年のニューイヤー駅伝で過去最高順位の2位に入った。日本では“駅伝文化”が陸上長距離競技の根底にあるが、日本人だけでなく多くのケニア人選手も、この日本の文化を体感している。日本の実業団には概ね2名のケニア人選手が在籍しているが、今回は昨シーズンの駅伝でSUBARUの主軸として活躍したケニア人選手2名の日本での練習を紹介する。特に、新人のベンソン・キプランガット選手は2021年ナイロビU20世界選手権5000m金メダリストであり、今年はユージン世界選手権5000mのケニア代表の座を狙っている。また、奥谷亘監督のインタビューや、チームの主将を務める梶谷瑠哉選手らの練習の様子も撮影した。ワークアウト内容：キプランガット、ロロット：15×400m (R200m jog) 梶谷、真船：3×(3×300m) R200m jog / SR400m jog 群馬県太田市にて。 -- -- -- Many of you have asked if there is a way to financially support the production of our videos.
