The As It Was singer hit the finish line in 3:24:07 – an average of roughly 4min 50sec per kilometre.

Our resident marathoner and running shoe expert Tanner Bowden, who has completed the Tokyo Marathon himself, called the Alphafly 3s the best elite racing shoes from Nike, saying “the shoe looks like a spaceship and moves about as fast as one, with a massive stack height that feels so distinctly propulsive it makes you want to run fast.”

Award-winning British singer Harry Styles joined thousands of participants running in the Tokyo Marathon, finishing with a stellar time under three-and-a-half hours.

Now, you can’t stack Styles’ marathon time against the professional runners who came out on top in Tokyo, including top men’s finisher Tadese Takele (2:03:23) and top women’s finisher Sutume Asefa Kebede (2:16:31).
