What a great interview. Jake is an absolute legend, and such a nice guy. It's true what he says, running to get promotions and sponsorship sucks for the viewers, if it is not genuine and a product you actually use and recommend. This has turned me off many running channels.
No typo here. It is widely known in the running world that Japan is an elite marathon country. Outside of Kenyan and Ethiopia, Japan is the 3rd best country in the marathon distance and their marathon runners are mainly amateur non-professional runners as compared to Kenya & Ethiopia where elite marathon runners are mostly professionals. Japan has over 200 runners clocking sub-2 hour 10mins in marathons. UK has 22 runners and US has 34 runners achieving this elite time. Bearing in mind, Japan has only a third of population size of USA. No typo here and it is well-known in the running world that Japan has most depth of elite runners in the world.
great convo - Jake is a legend
"Relaxed Running" exactly the right guest.
Running for two years and dropping a 2:17 😂 What a legend.

nice talk, thank you..
The language us like so foreign 😳! Really..
Is there a typo in the title and you meant to say Kenyans or Ethiopians? I dont see any Japanese inside the top 50 of the marathon world rankings.

Maybe watch the video bud
But you can see so many 2h15 japanese marathoners working in a 10h-12h hour shift :)
akira akasaki is top 50 and he got 6th in the olympic marathon :)
Aside from Kenyan, Ethiopian, etc. Africans mean Japanese would be any remarkable elite runner’s block all the time as you say very strongly.
