⚠️ Train Harder, Not Smarter.
🇬🇧 Documenting my life ‘on the run’ in Japan!

After slogging out back-to-back marathons recently, I’ve been suffering from crippling fatigue and my performances have plummeted. But I've finally realised what the problem is… I’m obviously just not training hard enough! So, this is what a 250km week actua lly looks like…

3 weeks before Manchester marathon and I’ve got a groin/hip niggle. Watched this vid to confirm my choice to go ahead with the 21 mile SLR in the morning. Pray for me. Absolutely love the channel Jake!

Could you one day tell us about your journey in the past where you had your several surgeries, the healing and the whole mental around it, how you recovered. i am very much intrigued! new subscriber here! pls keep it up! i like how positive you are and not condescending towards other people and just focusing on yourself.

[Senntiment]

glad you've recovered from last week man!! 250KM that's huge... honestly watching you run makes it look so easy!

[santer]

if 100km a week is pathetic, I must be really something really bad

[Chris-dwxl]

You are simply a beast when I grow up I want to be like you mind you I’m 52 now 😂love it

[joekendall]

Loving the videos mate. You are a beast, I hope you have some massage built in to your week! Curious to know what marathon time you think you are capable of?

[FrancescaBuscicchio]

I just found your channel last week, and I love it! I’ve just realised that I’m already addicted! I’ve watched your last two videos and now I’m half way to watching all the video 😍
That’s my channel: train harder not smarter 😂🙌🏻

I’m really enjoying this vlog. He’s entertaining and like a professional in front of the camera. The best thing for me though, is he doesn’t get all anal talking about trainers. Just goes out and smashes it.

14:15 Kudos to the older gent getting his jog in - is that a walking cane he's carrying? (okay it might be an umbrella).

Insane volume 🙌🏃‍♂️🔥 really inspiring 👍
I’v been runnin also quite long already and consistent last 8years over 4000km year. Not really crazy weeks but 90-100k familiar for me, and i been noticed the more i’v been able to run the faster i also can run marathons including shorter distances even without any fancy speed session.
Now i did nice block before my latest marathon which was DNS unluckily i got sick 😷😒 5-6weeks 112-120km felt strong..
Do you think it’s worth to try next year slighty higher volume, aiming for SUB3h those weeks didn’t feel too bad i think i can go a bit more, not surely 200km 😂 but something like about maybe 140-150k or sometimes even 160km weeks 😎 never been injury, only some light niggles sometimes 😅

Nice content bro
I have a question
After all that running you did this far
Does the body truly adapt to higher milage overtime ..
Or does the body just plateau in it's robustness and won't stop aching after reaching a certain mileage
Mr goal is to float around 100km of weekly milage . And not have body pains. Then when I'm training for a marathon, peeked around 130km on a week

Where do you leave your bag when running at the river?

[Shreyaasshh]

Please post your recovery metrics, and like all the data. If you don’t track, you should start, would be amazing content and super fun to see also.

Loving the grind!!!🎉❤

Are you sure you live in the same universe as us? I swear my day only has 24 hours in it, feels like yours have 48.

[ProjectWillo]

Are there any niggles you don't push through. Like with ligament inflammation or anything?

[abdq]

Bro I'm not even a runner, I'm just an average guy that lifts weights and does cardio but not by running (I play basketball, do jump rope, assault bike, punching the heavy bag, etc.). Yet somehow I still find your content interesting 😂😂. Keep it up brother!

Jake also called it "ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC" on my video when he said he ran less than 200k in a week 😂
