Unlike most professional runners, this year’s Boston Marathon champion has a full time job in Japan

Boston Marathon 2018 champion, Japan’s Yuki Kawauchi has run many races in challenging weather conditions both hot and cold. He holds the world record for sub-2:20 marathons with 79 now. Unlike many professional runners he has a full time job. He works in the administration office of a high school. “This year the high school is celebrating its 100th anniversary, so I’ve been quite busy writing the commemorative magazine for that,’’ he said. And of all the marathons he has run and of all the places this sport has taken him, it was here, these spectators and avid Boston fans, that left an impression on him. “It’s the best crowd support I’ve had anywhere in the world,’’ he said. “Thank you, Boston.’’ (04/16/2018) Views: 1,425 ⚡AMP
