Every trip, every train ride, every brutal training camp, it’s always been for running with a performance over everything mindset on this sub-2:10 marathon journey. But recently I realised something ridiculous… I’ve never actually explored Japan properly. And apparently there’s one place that Japanese runners escape to every winter when they need sunshine, huge mileage and a mental reset from the chaos of mainland training. So today, I’m heading deep into tropical Okinawa to find out why...

Drop that merch!!!!! I need a sick Ran to Japan shirt.
Jake just got Mentioned in the oldest strictly Running Magazine in the USA still going, Runners World in one of the smaller articles.
I've heard of ultra-running described as an eating contest so I'm thinking you'll do pretty well when you make the transition.
Your American accent is hilarious. You should do more of that 🤣
what i came up with, using bike as recovery just as you; i swaped my chainring to a 53t so it increases muscular demand. idk about yours tho
I've been wearing P20 suncream for hot/sweaty running days and it's crazy how well it's worked. I'm pasty ginger too and it's the first I've had that stops me burning on a run/cycle
Sun sleeves or long sleeve UV jerseys are the way to go if you're out riding for many hours! Otherwise applying sun screen every hour gets old.
The Jake vibes are 👌
I view your videos for running but Love how you show Japan
re: Sunscreen You need to reapply sunscreen every two hours for it to work optimally. Even more often, maybe hourly, if you're sweating a lot. So yeah: you need to cover up or lather up on sunscreen more often.
Ur American accent is perfect 6:11
めんそ〜れ〜❤
Pleased you beat the hacker. Disappointed your Arsenal lost to Paris. Enjoyed your tourist highlights in Okinawa From a fan in New Zealand.
Fellow ginger here - have u tried the Neutrogena sport spf 70 spray? It's soo good! Gotta be careful with the sun lol
I hope you convinced your translator to come along! 😊
Just chilling and eating a bowl of puu.
Mate, did you think of re-applying sunscreen every 3h or so? Just once doesn't do the trick if you're out in the sun for that long. Especially not as a ginger.
If you can’t get your heart rate up on the bike you should try “pedalling harder not faster”
Thanks for the mention 😂🙌🥞
