Running Beyond Limits: How Mindset Shapes Every Step with Ultramarathon Coach Giles Penfold

Running Beyond Limits: How Mindset Shapes Every Step with Ultramarathon Coach Giles Penfold

In this episode of The Mind Game, I’m joined by ultramarathon coach Giles Penfold, who’s redefining what it takes to go the distance. We dive into how athletes can perform better by training smarter — not harder — and why your beliefs, mindset, and self-talk are often the real finish line.

Giles shares how he went from injury and burnout to building a coaching method focused on strength, recovery, and mental resilience. We talk about managing fear, breaking through self-doubt, and why 95% of people are more capable than they think.


Whether you’ve just completed your first 5k or dream of tackling an ultra, this conversation will show you how to push past limits, manage the “dark miles,” and rediscover the joy of movement.


🎧 Tune in to learn how to master the mental game — one step at a time.
