Jake Barraclough Ran to Japan

In this episode of Conversations About Running, Callum and Gavin speak to British marathon runner, Jake Barraclough, otherwise known as the man behind the Ran to Japan YouTube and Insta channels. In 2023, Jake packed his bags and moved to Tokyo with a single goal of seeing how far the Japanese approach to distance running could take him. So far, the results are mightily impressive with Jake having quickly developed into a 2h17 marathon runner 🏃 🇯🇵 Something which didn't necessarily appear to be on the cards looking at his pre-Japan race results. We chat to Jake about all aspects of his Japanese experience, as well as the Japanese running scene more broadly. We really enjoyed this chat with Jake, and what stuck out was not only how serious and dedicated to his running he is, but rather the sense of fun and enjoyment that he is bringing along with it. We hope that you also enjoy our chat with Mr. Ran to Japan, Jake Barraclough.
