Cancer Survivor Satoru Kasuya runs Sub 2:20 Marathon

Surviving his treatment, Kasuya was determined to make a comeback. In September, 2015 he ran his first race post-surgery, a 5000 m time trial. Five months later he ran a 2:20:38 marathon in Tokyo,  following up with a 2:24:20 in Nagano this spring. On Sunday he placed 4th in 2:19:50. (11/28/2017) Views: 1,740 ⚡AMP
