    #88 Jake Barraclough - Running 150+ Miles a Week, Moving to Japan to Chase the Pro Marathoner Dream

    On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Jake Barraclough! Jake is from London, but did run in college for a few years in the US. After college, he moved home and got a job. During this time, he became very motivated to get better at the marathon distance. He did some reading on Japanese marathoning and their high mileage training and was hooked. He quit his job and decided to not only adopt this training method, but also found an opportunity for himself to move to Tokyo Japan (hence the name of his socials/Youtube: RanToJapan). In just one year living and training in Japan, Jake has dropped his marathon time 20+ minutes to 2:17! He has also been working on learning Japanese and built a succesful YouTube channel documenting his journey. We discussed Jake’s experience in Japan so far, what running 150 miles + per week has been like, and his future goals!
