その強い個性と不屈の精神力、そしてライバル・瀬古氏への対抗心…。80年代から90年代の日本のマラソン界をリードしたのが中山竹通（なかやま・たけゆき）氏です。
１９５９年（昭34）12月20日、長野県北安曇郡池田町生まれ。ハングリー精神と不断の努力で這い上がってきた下積み時代を経て、83年にダイエーへ入社。85年のＷ杯マラソン広島大会で２時間８分15秒の日本最高（当時）をマーク。ソウル五輪への事実上の一発選考レースとなった87年福岡国際マラソンを２時間８分18秒で制して五輪代表に選出された一方で、同マラソンをケガで欠場した瀬古利彦氏と陸連の対応を巡っての発言は大きな注目を集めました。
五輪は88年のソウル、92年バルセロナと２大会連続の４位入賞。どんな時も己の力で道を切り開いてきた男の発言は、今あらためて重みを持って響きます。スポーツニッポン紙上での自伝連載を書籍化した「我が道」シリーズ、今回は中山竹通氏の物語をお届けします。
