Jake has taken the running community by storm with his "train harder" philosophy, often clocking a staggering 270km per week in his quest to qualify for the Olympics. We dive deep into the endurance mindset required to sustain such high-volume marathon training, how he transitioned from the world of MMA to elite-level running, and his unique approach to content creation and YouTube growth.
