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.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T08:19:32.767713+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943"},"episode":{"title":"Inside the Mind of a Relentless Champion - Alistair Brownlee","slug":"inside-the-mind-of-a-relentless-champion-alistair-brownlee","published_at":"2026-01-12T09:24:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943/inside-the-mind-of-a-relentless-champion-alistair-brownlee","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PDS4691694511.mp3?updated=1769446642","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PDS4691694511.mp3?updated=1769446642","summary":"Alistair Brownlee has achieved almost everything in sports: double Olympic champion, serial world-title collector and one of the most uncompromising racers the sport has ever produced. In this episode Jan sits down with someone he’s shared two decades of rivalry, respect and occasional desert bike rides with - a relationship built on racing each other to the line and trying not to push each other into oncoming traffic. Alistair talks about what it really takes when “good enough” has never been an option: pushing himself to 99.9%, embracing obsession and why he never cared for “fake confidence.” They dive into how perfection both powered his career and broke his body and why he’d always rather risk everything than arrive at 95% to a competition. Plus: the moment in Rio 2016 he forced himself to actually remember, why he still can’t let his brother beat him and how he’s rebuilding purpose now that the start lines are behind him.
