Episode Notes

Dan & Owain are joined for another installment of The Athlete Series by Jake Barraclough, also known on YouTube as Ran To Japan.

Jake is famous for his "train harder, not smarter" approach, logging 250km+ a week of running in Japan. Jake has documented his journey in Japan, from training alone to joining in with some of the legendary corporate teams, in a completely unique running culture. Jake talks about the culture, his training approach and how training in Japan compares to the UK & US!
