You guys requested it, so here it is! Suguru Osako, the Japanese national marathon record holder, as he runs in the Tokyo Marathon (2:05:59)

This was not his fastest time; however, we get some pretty good footage of him running.

As I have mentioned before, your running technique is influenced by your body.

A good example of this is watching how Usain Bolt (100m world record holder) vs. Su Bingtian (fastest 100m sprinter in Asia).

Things like limb length and characteristics play a role here.

As I always say, while it is always interesting to point out differences, it is also great to appreciate the similarities.

If you want more of an in-depth analysis on Osako or any other runner, just let me know!
