The Pyllon Ultra Pod

Turning Frustration into Opportunity: Running without Races


Listen Later

Paul Giblin, Pyllon Coaching’s founder and owner, talks with long time coached athlete and GB 24 hour runner James Stewart on taking advantage of chaos and the mindset needed to do that.


This is the first show in a new series of podcasts on how each of the hosts strive to live their own ultra lives through running. They'll discuss the sport they love, the people, the places, the culture and the training that makes up their endurance running lives.

In this show the pair discuss:

• Why this podcast and why now, and the vulnerability it brings
• How growth mindset is key to maintaining motivation and momentum
• The power of optimism
• How curiosity makes belief come to life
• Paul’s reflections on a tough start to the year and the cancellation of Barkley Marathons
• Advice on dealing with restrictions in time and space to train
• The importance of routine and communication
• Paul’s hopes for the future in the midst of the current challenges

COMMUNITY CORNER: The honour of the first listener question goes to Robbie Drummond who reflects on the value of rest days; Paul and James don’t necessarily agree.
 
You can connect with Paul on Twitter @Pyllon or instagram @Pyllon.  James is on Twitter too, @james_stewart13 and on instagram as plain old @jamesstewart13
