What fuels the journey from a rider’s first brevet to a national record attempt in just three years?
Join UltraCycling Magazine as we sit down with one of Japan’s most dedicated and fastest-rising ultracyclists, Shinji Kohara. In this exclusive interview, Shinji shares his incredible story, from completing his first Super Randonneur series in 2022 to conquering the legendary Paris-Brest-Paris in 2023 and the formidable 1200km Audax Uzbekistan in 2024.
Discover the mindset and motivation behind his rapid progression and get an inside look at his preparations for his most ambitious challenge yet: a 2025 WUCA record attempt for the unsupported crossing of Japan’s main islands from South to North.
This conversation provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of international randonneuring and the unwavering spirit of an athlete pushing their limits.
