YouTuber RanToJapan on 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, Barraclough uprooted his life in the U.K. to move full-time to Japan and embrace the country’s unique approach to marathon training, all while documenting the journey on YouTube. Sixteen months and thousands of kilometres later, his gamble has paid off, setting huge personal bests and captivating a fan base from across the globe.

Barraclough joins the podcast to share his motivation for moving to Japan, the mind-bending training behind his rapid upward progression and what makes the country’s running scene, unlike anywhere else.
