[@garyhurn6153]

That 2:15 is around the corner .. what an effort. Take a bow

[@SotaMaehara]

Petition for Ran to Japan to do different accents from different countries in every single video, man is multi-talented 😂

[@SotaMaehara]

Also, I've been having a shit ton of Yayoi Ken recently myself! Ginger pork is my go to order, great way to carb up, I do minmum 4 rice bowls (200g each) when I'm there

[@RanToJapan]

If the running doesn’t work out, at least I’ve got a future gig as a voice actor on lockdown 👌

[@matejburian3191]

Chills literal chills from that intro, I need to recover from this

[@DevAmateur]

started watching your videos recently, and you feel so happy making them that it transpasses to the viewers. Get them going 2:18 is crazy!!!!

[@TravisSchultz-gl8pk]

The intro was HYPE! And loved the play by play plus walk up to the start line. You only came to see one man! The mileage king! Excellent stuff!

[@jecktongtan6258]

That WWE intro gave me goosebumps! 🤣I respect you of becoming windshield, used & abused😂! I really like your inspiring video! Do or die! Keep making these video Jake!

[@TheFODRunner]

What a run Jake... absolutely brilliant... true to your word, you went for it from the gun! Cant wait for the race breakdown!

[@soltour87]

Just found this channel and what a gem! It’s become my favourite KZbin channel. Keep up the great content. Can’t wait for the next video

[@dansel888]

Congratulations on completing the race strong, Jake! I bumped into you at Yoyogi Park two days ago. Big fan of your running content and much love from Malaysia!

[@RanToJapan]

Good to meet you briefly man! 🎌

[@alaasoufiani6471]

The Bruce Buffer was excellent mate, congrats on the run. This hopefully means we'll get a Fukuoka 2:15 attempt next year inshallah

[@28mouse85]

Bruce buffer would be proud of that intro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 mate smashed it still

[@brianmessemer2973]

“What an intro! If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what will!” 😂 Way to double down 👏👏👏

[@reigaterobot4965]

Windshielding for 30 km, respect

[@vivpm]

Loved the intro and commentary 😅 True Kamakaze approach like you said! Looking forward to the recap video.

[@GOD-lb2bz]

Love the video Jake - very creative - and love the effort and result even more. Feel sub 2.15 is just round the corner. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bubsybrown8308]

Congratulations, that is an unbelievable run. Doing the Brits proud 💪

[@tomharmon5198]

Great racing and on to Tokyo. That will be epic. I love your videos!

[@Martin_Edmondson]

Brilliant job! A run worthy of the shoes. Congrats.

[@Archeris]

Was waiting for this and not disappointed. Used and abused 😂😂. Great effort. Mental strength is insaaaaane.

[@alex31721able]

That was an amazing video, really shows you digging deep which is lovely to see form anyone. I coach another sport and the mindset in display is exactly what you're looking for in a top class athlete

[@kikiSubarashii]

New favorite running channel on KZbin. Super inspiring and entertaining to watch. Love your content, keep it up!

[@MaxTravers-c4p]

Fantastic race and awesome channel, love the no-nonsense style and the way you've thrown yourself head-first into marathon racing and training. Keep it up!

[@edwardaustin6410]

You give it full beans in the race and the commentary. Looking forward to following your progress and going sub 2.:15

[@chuckdavie]

61 seconds in, saw the Arsenal merch. My man Jake's a baller. Quite honestly whenever you're next in the UK theres a ticket going for you, I live right next to the stadium, have 2 seasons tickets and never find a baby sitter to let me wife and I go together 😂 Tanoshimu!

[@RanToJapan]

Ahah that would be legendary, thanks for the kind offer! It’s been too long since I watched the Gooners live 🔥

[@josephgonzalez_]

That literally was Kamikaze, don’t try this at home stuff. Love it! A 2:18 when your block hasn’t quite gone to plan is excellent. Well done 👏

[@orangetwelve3462]

Kamikaze carb loading! 😆 Congrats, excellent performance, you gave it your all!! 💪💪

[@CleverSmart123]

What an effort!! Well done🙌🏻

[@JadeFernandez-e2o]

Hey, dude been a fan since your first video, would love to see a video where you put into detail your training work outs. It'll be really helpful for people like me who are starting running on a regular basis!

[@RanToJapan]

Thanks for following along! All the details are on strava so you can check the workouts out there

[@mikaelsnabb3435]

I fking love it bro!! Big up Jake!! 💪💪💪

[@mossykeehan]

Good choice with the Arsenal gear 🔴

[@memeking8734]

solid effort mate! should definitely give you better benchmarks for your nex training block! looking forward to the race debrief

[@DavidLau-f5m]

What-a-performance! Congrats! So inspiring and motivating - thank you!

[@leewellstead2305]

Great video again. You were in a world of pain and still managed to finish in a great time. True Kamikaze stuff

[@Leeroy49]

Finally the video I've been waiting for. So good. Still congratulations you'll improve that a lot in the future.

[@jessedardengo5959]

Well done Jake, love the kamikaze approach! 2:15 is coming soon

[@tly7486]

Yayoi is definitively good! I love this place whenever I visit Japan.

[@SuperFuzzyDunlop]

Just starting watching your vids and didn't know you were a Bedford lad! Congratulations! Putting us on the running map!

[@bodhisattwadasgupta5317]

What an amazing run mate ... i almost ran with you, in thoughts of course ,... brilliant brilliantly done ...

[@alessandrorossi3268]

Amazing! Love the channel, can not wait to see what you can achieve!

[@aniketbrs]

Been watching your videos since the first upload and was following the Fukuoka marathon - you crushed it Jake; may that sub 2:15 come soon too

[@alexisbehindyou5858]

Peoples champ! Smashed it, doing the UK proud.

[@frankMIALL]

Wow, quality video mate, I'm just into running. Aged 45,bang on it this year, trained for black belt 3rd Dan and did a marathon in same week, from 500 meters start of the year blowing up can't run. Sub 20 5k is the unbelievable goal. Do they parkrun run in Japan, Just like to say hats off to your life, wow!!!

[@julienpiccini440]

Awesome man, I am a fan! With more experience you gonna crush it.

[@tly7486]

Best intro i've seen. Bravo Jake

[@SidSubramaniam-t6h]

Legend!! Nice one man :D That was a solid time

[@ACs946]

Well done mate. fking well done I think the race commentary needs a helpful amount of f-words to convey the relative effort.

[@boaz9798]

Inspiring, going after your dreams and the heart you put into it

[@KvandeO]

Well done man, absolutely love your channel!

[@kichijojirunner8177]

BTW Nice top! Arsenal fans are like ninjas-everywhere, but you don’t see them coming.

[@us4rnam4]

Great effort, congratulations!

[@stevenlay2379]

Sips post-run smoothie Perfect timing-just in time for some British running wisdom 👌

[@tubbyisnofatty]

oh I’m not watching Jake for running wisdom 😂 the lad is just full out sending it

[@rrevdog9482]

Wow I've got a new favourite youtube channel!!! Unbelievable stuff 🎉🎉🎉

[@abdq4712]

Bro you're one tough SOB to push through that 💪💪.

[@runsohfast]

epic commentary!

[@traviskruger2263]

Thanks, keep them coming

[@regivb]

Go hard or suffer for the rest of your life 💥 Inspiring journey Jake !

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

I died laughing on that intro 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@injoethehero]

I really enjoy your videos, so please don't kill yourself with these races 😁

[@JohnnyMarathon]

Amazing job, what a dream to run Fukuoka.

[@BenGoodTimes2U]

Awesome video and result 👏👏👏

[@MrGorgoholic]

Otsukaresama deshita!!

[@lateef11]

What a run! 2:15 isn't far mate. Keep going.

[@darkervx]

congratz, that was an amazing performance indeed. 2:15 is close coming for sure.

[@jaspermcdowell229]

What an intro 🙌

[@bankmissiontorun]

Big fan man! Very creative video

[@someguy7897]

Great result!

[@tweetymonkey]

Unreal running bro 👊

[@Tendonworks]

The headline, brought back memories for me. I lost my colour vision, finishing a mile track race. By recollection I ran around 4:01 which clearly was over my red line. It did return, but a bit odd. Quite a frequent occurance at the end of 1500m races was pain in my teeth, I suppose joining in with the rest of my body ! I trained bloody hard so I am in that club ! Enjoy the content, thank you :)

[@JohnSmith-fe6xk]

Well done big man

[@danielmitchell5830]

Epic!

[@STR675]

Love your content! i ended up binge watching all your videos 😂 BTW, what watch model are you using?

[@RanToJapan]

Legend! 🙌 Raced in a Garmin forerunner 245 but I’ve recently got a Coros pace pro

[@rommyt7004]

So happy for you!! Well done!! How much do the flames on the alphafly help?

[@RanToJapan]

No chance I was going sub 2:20 without em 🔥

[@benherebefore]

Well done Jake!

[@duderoger7999]

How many marathons have you done in your life bud? Love the videos very inspired by you brother!!

[@RanToJapan]

Great to hear mate! I’ve only raced 2 marathons flat out (but done plenty of training marathons)

[@najwanjaimey]

great video jake !! btw are u an arsenal fan?

[@RanToJapan]

Til I die! 🔴⚪️

[@najwanjaimey]

[@oscarclaro22]

Why am I supporting an Arsenal fan 🤦 Amazing effort bro!

[@joshberlari]

That into is willddddd

[@patrickp5645]

Ongrats

[@viktorask]

I learned that Strava's pace map is very inaccurate. I compared it with Garmin Connect, and learned that Strava's map pace is very out of place.

[@lasseolsen350]

Train harder - not smarter!

[@johngetstrong]

Excellent job Mr. Jake! Have you experimented with maurten bicarb yet?

[@RanToJapan]

Nah I’ve heard it’s only really beneficial for shorter distances to avoid the lactic sniper!

[@kh10027]

It's like martial arts announcement😂

[@73Rival]

🔥

[@fpie4230]

9:19 Its the China Marathon Record Holder He Jie

[@benwilkinson7894]

Great race! How many rest days do you take off from running after this?

[@RanToJapan]

Grade total of 0 days… the addiction is strong 😂 Couple easy weeks building back tho

[@PoetWithPace]

Great running! How is the eye sight now?

[@RanToJapan]

Was all good again later that day!

[@PoetWithPace]

@ phew! Didn’t need Specsavers then 🤩

[@bcvids999]

Fuel that internal carbustion engine bro

[@froywhernside]

Epic intro!!! Undersold yourself I reckon, Jake "TRAIN HARDER NOT SMARTER" Barraclough 😂

[@chrisfusionverdenadiwinata4647]

If u dont mine me asking, what training plan do u use, what app or program? Thank you

[@RanToJapan]

I’m fully self-coached so base the plan on research I’ve done into other runners’ training and experimentation with my own training over the years!

[@chrisfusionverdenadiwinata4647]

@ you should make a video about it, many people would love to watch that including myself and my friends!!! Thank you for the reply its such an honor!!!

[@xavier5720]

early stoppage

[@paulmacht]

❤

[@evogrande]

Join and vlog a parkrun try to get 1st place while vlogging! Video idea

[@Franz_giblet]

As caffeine is a diuretic is it beneficial?

[@RanToJapan]

It’s a pretty massive performance enhancer!

[@Franz_giblet]

@ yeah that’s true, really enjoying your videos 👌🏻👌🏻

[@neonfishy4983]

what shoes were you wearing?

[@RanToJapan]

Alpha 3s (ekiden edition)

[@Tegridytowelie]

Hey jake you a big fan of UFC? If so, who are your favourite current fighters?

[@RanToJapan]

Oh yeah it’s unreal! I’d say current, Max Holloway, Gaethje & Leon Edwards (he used to be my coach back when I was training) but all time has gotta be Bisping

[@seanmartin4603]

I'm going to be in Japan for a few weeks next December to January. What is a good HM to do? Scenic? I'm slow, PB 1h53min

[@RanToJapan]

Could give the Chiba Aqualine Half, Osaka Half, or Showa Kinen park Half a go?

[@seanmartin4603]

Cheers mate. Favorite running KZbinr ATM. Hope the recovery is going well after that marathon.

[@stoppre88]

Who let alan tudyk run a marathon??

[@RanToJapan]

Had to Google who that was 😂
