In this episode of The Mindful Runner Podcast, we speak with Jamie Fensham, who’s preparing to take on his first 200-mile race at the 2024 Mac Mac Ultra.

We explore the mindset of stepping into a distance you’ve never faced before, how Jamie’s training has evolved, and what it feels like to prepare for the unknown. With limited expectations and a grounded approach, Jamie brings a refreshing perspective to ultra running: one built on curiosity, presence, and the willingness to see what’s possible.

Whether you’re new to trail ultras or chasing your own next big step, this conversation offers insight, honesty, and a calm courage.
