About this listen

 Welcome to Frodeno Going Mental. A podcast with me, Jan Frodeno, where I sit down with people who know what it feels like to hit the edge and sometimes go way past it. Physically, mentally, emotionally. In every episode, we dig into questions that don’t leave you alone:
What actually drives us?
What holds us back?
And how do we grow beyond the person we thought we were? We talk about the search for meaning, identity and the tiny details that turn good into great. But also about the things most of us keep quiet: the setbacks, the doubt, the loneliness, the dark stretches that never make it into the highlight reel. This podcast is for anyone who wants honest conversations, real resilience, and stories that go deeper than results.
If you’re curious about what happens in that space between breaking down and breaking through - enjoy the show. Running & Jogging

  • Eliud Kipchoge: The Philosopher of Running

    Eliud Kipchoge: The Philosopher of Running
    May 4 2026
    For this conversation, Jan sits down with the greatest marathoner of all time, Eliud Kipchoge. They explore the mindset that led to the historic sub-two-hour marathon and why Eliud believes that records don't belong to individuals, but to the sport itself. Eliud shares his profound wisdom on the purity of running, explaining why he still lives and cleans in a simple training camp despite his global success. They discuss the "heavy load" of preparation, how to maintain focus in an age of distraction, and his rule for the next generation. A conversation that serves as a blueprint for anyone looking to push their own boundaries, whether in sport or in life. Enjoy! Get Your Own CANYON GRAIL Ready to hit the gravel?

  • Simon Squibb: Dream vs. Goal

    Simon Squibb: Dream vs. Goal
    Apr 27 2026
    In this episode, Jan connects with entrepreneur and visionary Simon Squibb to dissect the fundamental difference between a dream and a goal. Simon, who went from being homeless at 15 to becoming a multi-millionaire, shares his radical philosophy on why "monetizing your dream" is the only path to true fulfillment. Together, they discuss the flaws of the modern education system, the trap of middle-class comfort, and why pure willpower often fails where deep-seated necessity succeeds. It is a raw, high-energy conversation about taking ownership of your life and turning "crazy" dreams into inevitable realities. Get Your Own CANYON GRAIL Ready to hit the gravel?

  • Dandapani: The Mechanics of Mind and Focus

    Dandapani: The Mechanics of Mind and Focus
    Apr 20 2026
    In this episode, Jan sits down with former monk and Hindu priest Dandapani to demystify the human mind. Drawing from ten years of monastic training, Dandapani explains why focus is a physical skill that must be practiced 24/7, rather than a fleeting state achieved through quick meditation. He and Jan dive into the distinction between awareness and the mind, the "Bruce Lee of distraction" trap, and how elite performers can use a framework of purpose, simplification, and sacrifice to anchor themselves in the present. It’s a powerful conversation on reclaiming your attention in an age of constant noise. Enjoy the episode!
