Chasing Discomfort Jay Smith

In August 2013, ex pro rugby player, David "Jacko" Jackson, suffered a brain injury during training which resulted in a seizure on the field and small bleed on the brain, which ultimately lead to his retirement from the sport. During his recovery Jacko discovered through the process of re-training and learning how to restore healthy breathing patterns, he fell in love with running again. Jacko is now a master Oxygen Advantage coach & mentor, from the acclaimed book Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown. Jacko, also a Strength & Conditioning coach, found the connection between nasal breathing and running helped him re-connect with himself. In September 2022, Jacko completed a 3 day ultra marathon event, Ring of Fire, running a total of 135 miles around of Anglesey, North Wales. Between Breaths is the documentary that captured the Ring of Fire event and will be out in January 2023.

James Pieratt is an ultra marathon runner, practices the martial art of Ju Jitsu, he deadlifted 520lbs (236kg) and run 50 miles in the same day... Oh yeah and he bow hunts bears, in the wild unforgiving terrain of North America.

James is no stranger to discomfort, his time addicted to drugs and as a prison inmate is a true testament to how this man has turned his life around.

James now serves his athletes as the owner of wild hunt conditioning which centres on "Building a system for the fighting man".

James is an inspiring individual and I loved this conversation, I HOPE YOU DO TO.

Until next time... Keep Chasing
