Jacob Oak is one of our 2024 Grambassadors, selected from a large group of applicants to share his passion and knowledge of our race weekend.Oak works as a personal fitness and running coach in Minnesota's Twin Cities area, and he watched several of his clients set new personal bests in Duluth last summer while he himself set a 10-minute PR at the 2023 Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon.One of Oak's passions with people he coaches is exploring the mental aspect of running, specficially the "why" behind the "how." He joins the podcast to discuss the benefits of "finding your why" before race day and offers some helpful advice on how to get connected with the true meaning behind your desire to run.To connect with and/or follow Oak in the buildup to our 2024 Grandma's Marathon weekend, please see below:Jacob Oak   - Instagram @coachjacoboak
