Jamie Fensham : Embracing the challenge

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.
