Jake Barraclough is a 2h17 marathon runner from England who left everything behind to move to Japan and fully commit to his passion for running. Balancing intense training, building a YouTube channel, and learning Japanese, Jake lives a unique life that immediately drew us in.

In this episode, we explore what led Jake to make such a daring move, his experience running in local ekidens alongside Olympians who competed in Paris, the reality of being a foreigner in Japan, his thoughts on Western runners, and much more.
