He shares how running was quietly taken away from him for years, and how pushing a friend in his wheelchair at the Great North Run for charity was what pulled him back into training, eventually leading his team, Run With Drew, to a Guinness World Record for the fastest half marathon pushing a wheelchair. The conversation covers reconnecting with his old coach after a decade of silence, sneaking into a competitive London Marathon entry, joining Puma Project 3, and the recovery focused philosophy behind his rapid return to elite level running. He also shares Race Calendar, the website he built to help UK runners find their next race.Content note: this episode includes a detailed discussion of a serious heart condition, surgery, and a difficult experience with health insurance.

He explains why closing the gap with more naturally talented runners means going all in on volume, what a typical training week looks like, the brutal silent long runs he used to do on loops in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park, and the lessons he's taken from Japan's old school running culture. The conversation also covers the reality of building a career on YouTube, why he still doesn't love social media, and how he balances extreme training with actually staying healthy.In this episode:- From an MMA fighting career to running full time in Japan- Why he chose YouTube over short form content- The Japanese running culture and training philosophy he's adopted- A breakdown of his typical training week: speed, tempo, and long run- The brutal, silent long runs on loops in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park- Why closing the talent gap means going all in on training volume- Building a YouTube career while still not loving social media- Balancing an extreme training approach with staying healthy- What's next for his running and his channelTimestamps00:00 A preview: showing the extreme stuff on YouTube00:20 Welcome and introducing Jake03:24 Kristian's Ironman training update04:15 Finally sitting down with Jake ran to Japan05:13 Running in the UK vs Japan16:08 Jake's early running background and a career threatening injury16:45 Discovering MMA during years away from running18:19 Choosing between rapping, fighting, and running18:35 The decision to move to Japan and start documenting it28:46 What his training volume looked like before Japan29:42 Going from getting injured at 60k a week to thriving at 200k31:29 Why he shows the extreme stuff, not the easy miles33:34 Learning from Japan's old school running culture39:53 Diving into Japanese run clubs within weeks of arriving48:08 Nearly taking his training too far the other direction50:31 The pressure of building a YouTube channel around your training53:23 Why simple, harder training beats overcomplicating things54:13 A full breakdown of his typical training week56:30 The brutal silent long runs on loops in Yoyogi Park59:42 Believing he'll never reach his potential at low mileageJake on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RanToJapanStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY

It's an honest conversation about running as a tool for mental wellbeing, not a replacement for professional help, but a powerful complement to it.From there the talk shifts technical: finding a qualified coach, managing a recurring ankle injury, solving a persistent cramping problem, dialing in nutrition and electrolytes, and the training that carried him to 2:37 at London.

On this episode we have Ryan Smith on. Ryan is a 25-year-old based in Boston who ran a stunning 2:15:52 marathon debut at the Vermont City Marathon, winning the race and, almost as a surprise to himself, securing the Olympic Trials Qualifier (OTQ) standard. A Division 3 college runner who had been steadily chipping away at his PRs in the years since graduation, Ryan's breakthrough came after bouncing back from a stress fracture and committing to a short but smart "mini marathon block."In this conversation, host Kristian digs into what made Ryan's debut so remarkable: lower-than-expected mileage (~75–80 miles/week plus cross-training), a double threshold training approach, intensity controlled by feel rather than heart rate or lactate testing, and the philosophy of always erring on the slower side of effort. Ryan is candid about his injury history, the mental side of racing alone, and what it felt like to cross the finish line not quite believing the clock.⏱️ Timestamps1:00:08 | Intro — Episode 182 welcome1:00:23 | Guest introduction: Ryan Smith1:02:10 | Conversation begins1:02:54 | Ryan's background — age 25, Div.

Relisten to one of the most popular episodes of The Marathon Podcast:How does an athlete go from professional cycling to elite distance running — in less than a year?In this episode of The Marathon Podcast, Jimmy Whelan joins the show to discuss his remarkable transition from WorldTour-level cycling to professional running. After years racing internationally with EF, Jimmy stepped away from cycling — and within a year ran a sub-30 10K and a 61-minute half marathon, earning his place as a professional runner.We talk about the differences between cycling and running, how aerobic fitness transfers, what surprised him most about running training, and how he’s preparing for his first-ever marathon. This is a fascinating look at elite endurance performance, adaptation, and what’s possible when world-class fitness meets a new discipline.A must-listen for runners, cyclists, and endurance athletes curious about cross-training, aerobic development, and marathon potential.🎁 Partner OffersGet 20% off a STRAVA annual subscription with code KRISTIANSave on FlexBeam using this link or code WARWICKRUNS:https://rechargehealthas.sjv.io/55GAPbStart your free Musicbed trial:https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwick🎥 Full episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary:https://www.youtube.com/@Warwickruns📸 Follow Kristian’s journey on Instagram: @warwick.runs🎶 Music from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY🔗 Watch & Follow

On this episode we have Francesco Ranchi on, and here's what he posted on reddit a few days ago: Started running 8 months ago when I was 130kg (but back then I wasn’t running I could only walk ), now I dropped to 87kg with pure hard work and training and 2 days ago I managed to run my first marathon here in Trieste!I only ran 21km during training as time was really tight for me. The first half was as predicted reaching the half marathon in 2 hours and 15 minutes, I then stopped at an aid station where there was a good looking lady and drank too much and ate too many bananas and apples while having a chat with her…never regretted having talked to a girl this much… threw up after 1km, got to the next aid station really dehydrated and from then on everything I would eat/drink I would throw up. Ran the last 21km in 4 hours with terrible cramps, headaches. Walked for 10km but somehow I got a second wind and was able to run at 8min/km for the remaining 12km. Threw up about 6 times in the last 21km, including the exact moment where I crossed the finish line at 6 hours 30 seconds (officially arrived last out of 600), and I even got live in the local news while throwing up my soul crossing the finish line , but coming where I came from physically and mentally, I’m proud I pushed trough and did what once I was convinced to be impossible.Full video + the Boston 2025 documentary:    / @warwickruns  Follow Kristian's journey on Instagram: @warwick.runs
