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.

  1. The Norwegian Method: Science vs. Soul – Kristian Blummenfelt

    The Norwegian Method: Science vs. Soul – Kristian Blummenfelt

    What drives someone to race four major triathlons across two and a half continents in just six weeks — and still come out sharper on the other side? In this episode, Jan sits down with Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt to decode the mindset of the "Norwegian Terminator." Kristian opens up about his "kamikaze" racing schedule, the devastating mental basement of a bad race, and why his deepest fuel isn't the joy of winning, but a fear of loss. Jan also shares a personal angle: after his 2022 crash and surgeries, Blummenfelt became one of the reasons he wanted to come back — to race him one more time in 2023.They dive deep into the split with his long-time coach, the transition to being self-coached, and the truth behind the 103 VO2 Max rumors. From the aggressive racing style of his hero Alistair Brownlee to the high-stakes "barking" in the Olympic village, this is a raw look at the methodology and the madness required to redefine the limits of human endurance.

    Eliud Kipchoge: The Philosopher of Running

    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

    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

    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!

    Lucy Charles-Barclay: The Price of Being #1

    Athlete mindset and dealing with public criticism are daily realities for Lucy Charles-Barclay. Because her swim strength usually puts her at the front of every race, she is constantly under the camera's lens, meaning every mistake is broadcast to the world and judged by "armchair coaches". Lucy shares how she developed a "thick skin" to stay focused on her peak performance and why she ultimately doesn't care about the opinions of those who don't understand the complexities of the sport.

    Sebastian Steudtner: The Risk of Sitting Still

    What’s more dangerous: a 100-foot wave or a 30-year desk job? World record surfer Sebastian Steudtner joins Jan Frodeno to explain why he trained himself to pass out underwater just to "learn how to drown" without panic. From landlocked Germany to the massive swells of Nazaré, Steudtner reveals how he uses military-grade science to conquer the ocean’s most violent frontiers. It’s a masterclass in calculated risk, the "One Up" mentality, and why the greatest danger in life is simply staying still.
