Welcome back to the Pyllon Ultra Pod — and to a new direction for the show.
In this episode, we explore the emotional side of endurance. Why do ultra races move us to tears? What do they unlock deep inside that other pursuits can’t reach? And how does that emotional depth become part of why we keep coming back?
Our guest is Jeevendra, an ultra runner, thinker, and long-time Pyllon athlete with a deeply spiritual approach to running. He opens up about the emotional layers of training and racing — from mantras and meditation to moments of surrender and soul-level clarity during events like Spartathlon and the Bob Graham Round.
Together, Paul and Jeev talk about:
What it means to run with emotion — not against it
Why endurance can become a spiritual practice
The role of grief, purpose, and memory in running long distances
How emotional breakthroughs can become physical turning points
Tools like mantras, visualisation, and surrender
And what it means to truly live a purpose-driven life
If you’ve ever felt changed by a run — or wondered why this sport hits so deep — this one is for you.
