RanToJapan's Jake Barraclough | Moving to Japan, Huge Mileage Training, and the Incredible World of Japanese Marathoning

This week on the Shakeout Podcast we sit down with Jake Barraclough, the man behind the wildly popular YouTube channel RanToJapan.

Looking to take his running to the next level, Jake uprooted his life in the UK to move full-time to Japan and embrace the country's unique approach to marathon training, all while documenting the journey on YouTube. 16 months, and many thousands of kilometres of training, later, his gamble has paid off with huge personal bests at the Marathon and Half Marathon and a captivated fan base from across the globe.

Jake joins TheShakeout to share his motivations for moving to Japan, the mind-bending training behind his rapid upward progression, and what makes the Japanese running scene unlike anywhere else in the world.
