Harry Styles' Journey to Complete the Tokyo Marathon 2025 in 3 Hours 24 Minutes

Kapanlagi.com - Running a marathon is not an easy task, especially for those who are not professional runners. It requires intensive training, physical endurance, and a well-thought-out strategy to finish a race that is 42.195 kilometers long. However, for a global musician like Harry Styles, this challenge was brilliantly conquered.

Last weekend, fans were surprised by Styles' appearance at the Tokyo Marathon 2025. Without much prior publicity, the performer of "Daylight" successfully completed the race with an impressive time of 3 hours 24 minutes and 7 seconds. Dressed in all black and bright yellow Nike running shoes, he looked enthusiastic running among thousands of other participants.

This result proves that Styles is not only skilled on stage but also possesses extraordinary physical abilities. With this time, he managed to maintain an average speed of 7 minutes 47 seconds per mile, something that is not easy for a non-professional. What was Harry Styles' journey like from training to crossing the finish line? Here’s the review.

1. Stealth Preparation, Public Surprised

For the past few months, Harry Styles has been barely heard from in the media. He chose to keep a low profile and did not give any hints about his involvement in the Tokyo Marathon 2025. This decision surprised his fans when they suddenly saw him running among thousands of participants.

Previously, Styles was known as a sports enthusiast, but he never directly revealed that he was preparing for a marathon. This surprise became even more intriguing after his time record was revealed, showing that he was not just participating, but also serious about the race.

2. Running Strategy: Consistent from Start to Finish

According to a report from Runner's World, Styles recorded a time of 1 hour 42 minutes 3 seconds at the half marathon mark. He then completed the second half with a nearly identical time, 1 hour 42 minutes 4 seconds. This consistency shows that he has a well-thought-out strategy for managing his energy throughout the race.

Many marathon runners experience a drop in performance in the second half of the race, but Styles managed to maintain his rhythm. This indicates that his training has paid off, even if he is not a professional athlete.

3. Strict Training, Here’s the Secret to Styles' Endurance

An article from Coach in 2024 reveals that Harry Styles has a quite intensive training program. His routine includes warming up with 10-30 minutes of jogging, followed by a fast mile run. After that, he undergoes body endurance training that includes 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 air squats within 8 minutes.

In addition to body endurance training, he also engages in long-distance running and a series of core exercises to strengthen his muscles. With such a training pattern, it’s no wonder he was able to conquer the Tokyo Marathon with such impressive results.

4. Moments on the Track: Interacting with Fans

Throughout the race, Harry Styles continued to show his friendly personality. In several videos circulating on social media, he was seen giving thumbs up to fans cheering on the sidelines. With his signature smile, he kept running while occasionally waving to those supporting him.

Although focused on running, Styles still took the time to interact with fans. This shows that he enjoyed the moment, not just chasing a record time.

5. How Does It Compare to Professional Runners?

Of course, Harry Styles' time is still far from that of elite athletes. The winner of the men's category, Tadese Takele, managed to complete the marathon in 2 hours 3 minutes and 23 seconds. Compared to that, a time of 3 hours 24 minutes may not be impressive in the world of athletics, but for a musician who is not a professional runner, it is an outstanding achievement.

With over 37,000 participants, Styles finished in 6,010th place. This proves that he is capable of competing with many runners who are also trying to conquer the Tokyo Marathon course.
