Ran to Japan: Training Secrets, Olympic Dreams & The MMA Mindset

In this episode of the Motional Intelligence Podcast, we sit down with the man behind one of the fastest-growing running channels on YouTube: Jake, better known as Ran to Japan.

Jake has taken the running community by storm with his "train harder" philosophy, often clocking a staggering 270km per week in his quest to qualify for the Olympics. We dive deep into the endurance mindset required to sustain such high-volume marathon training, how he transitioned from the world of MMA to elite-level running, and his unique approach to content creation and YouTube growth.

Whether you are a hybrid athlete, a marathoner looking for running motivation, or interested in the psychology of obsession, this conversation provides a blueprint for pushing your physical and mental limits.
