World Championships Marathon Men Preparing for the Worst in Beijing Air Quality – translated by Brett Larner – Japan Running News
2015 Beijing World Championships men's marathon team members Masakazu Fujiwara (34, Team Honda), Masato Imai (31, Team Toyota Kyushu) and Kazuhiro Maeda (33, Team Kyudenko) left from Tokyo's Narita Airport on April 13 for a tour of the World Championships race course.
Along with the course, a major concern is the increasingly serious problem of air pollution in Beijing.
Steeling himself for the worst, Imai commented, "There's nothing I as an individual can say that will improve the situation, so you just have to accept it as normal and run.
The conditions will be the same for everybody."
