👟 I Ran the Length of Japan - 1st Episode on YouTube
We've been quietly editing videos, and have just released the first episode where I start my 80-day journey running the length of Japan
Well, it’s been a long time since I last posted a newsletter about our journey down the length of Japan. Mostly we’ve been busy with those pesky real-life duties like earning money, as unfortunately running around filming ourselves doesn’t pay the rent. But alongside that we’ve been doing bits of video editing and have finally got the first video published, with more to follow in the coming weeks.

🚂 Training Summary
We’ve started running again. This time Joy is training for a half-marathon, while I have my eye on a couple of winter adventures that are perhaps not quite as epic as Japan, but might be a little harder to complete.

🧠 Running Through My Head
I can’t believe it has been so long since we left Japan, or that it has taken us so long to get this series out. But I think the space between finishing and the series has helped us look at our footage differently and make better episodes. We’re excited to be making this series, and excited to be plotting more adventures.
📺 In Case You Missed It…

🚀 Next Up
A little more running, a little more video editing, and putting together the plans for some more adventures.
Thank you for reading and hopefully it won’t be another 9 months until my next email!
Take it easy,
