He Lost 180 pounds, Ran Every Street in San Jose, and Completed 100+ Mile Treks to Raise Money for Foster Kids - The Incredible True Story of Jake McCluskey


Listen Later

#020 - Our guest today is James McCluskey. Jake has such an inspiring story. He once weighed in at over 380 pounds and was leading a sedentary lifestyle. 

In fact, he would go six to nine months at a time living within a tiny bubble between his house and the corner store. Just next door. 

One day, he was inspired by Marshawn Lynch's quote. And since then, it's been all about that action boss. In this discussion, we talk about the moment that changed Jake's life. How he went from a couch to marathon in a little over a year. Jake gives us a detailed account of his solo 50-mile trek from San Francisco to San Jose. 

And then his hundred-mile Trek from Petaluma all to raise money for foster kids. Plus we go into some of the details on how Jake became the first person to run every street in San Jose. And why was way tougher than anyone imagined. There's a little bit of audio distortion during this discussion, but we try to take care of it as best we could. We really hope that you enjoy it.
