Everyone is talking about the Tokyo Marathon doubling its elite prize money to a record-shattering $170k… but the real jaw-dropping stat? 🤯 26,628 metric tons of carbon.

That is Tokyo’s official race footprint. While most events greenwash their numbers, Tokyo did a brutal, transparent data audit. Does this mean they’re going cupless? Banning plastic gear bags?

Honestly, the data shows that local waste barely scratches the surface—traveler mobility makes up over 88% of that total. To hit complete carbon neutrality by 2028, they are facing an absolute logistics nightmare to balance out thousands of international flights. ✈️🌳

Can they actually pull off a net-zero World Major in 24 months?
We broke down the full data audit, the „Cup-to-Toilet-Paper“ pipeline, and the brand-new Majors prize money leaderboard.

This one-off change is designed to meet record-breaking demand and reshape how the world’s biggest marathon operates at scale — and it could have major implications for the future of the sport.

Tomorrow on “Your Story Your Why,” we talk to Ashley Paulson—iFIT trainer, elite ultra-runner, and world-record holder! ✨

You all know Ashley out there crushing miles and spreading sparkles, but behind every powerhouse athlete is a rock-solid foundation. Enter Matt Paulson (AKA “Ashley’s Husband” 😉).
With Father’s Day this weekend, we wanted to honor the incredible men behind the scenes. In this reel, Matt drops some serious words of wisdom about the self-limiting beliefs we all face—reminding us that the hardest battle isn’t the physical miles, it’s conquering the voices inside our own heads.

Matt doesn’t just manage the race-day logistics; he reads the shifts in energy, steps in with the hard talks when needed, and serves as the ultimate anchor so Ashley can unapologetically chase her wildest dreams.

🎙️ The full episode drops TOMORROW! Hit the link in our bio to subscribe and hear Matt and Ashley unpack the mindset shift it takes to shatter boundaries.

Show Matt and all the supportive men making magic happen behind the scenes some love.❤️
