The carthorse himself! Ran To Japan aka Jake Barraclough joins me post Valencia Marathon for a quality chat. A true badger of the running game, you won't ever see the likes again. Jake talks 280km weeks, breaking a world record & why he trains so much and at what cost?

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. Whether you are a hybrid athlete, a marathoner looking for running motivation, or interested in the psychology of obsession, this conversation provides a blueprint for pushing your physical and mental limits.
