You’re Closer Than You Think (But You Don’t Trust It Yet)
Show Notes At this point in the season, a lot of runners start to question themselves. Races are getting closer. Training suddenly feels more exposed. Sessions that felt perfectly normal in winter now feel loaded with meaning. A flat run becomes evidence that something is wrong. A bad session suddenly feels significant. And yet, objectively, many runners are actually in a very good place. In this solo episode of the Pyllon Ultra Pod, I explore the strange gap between what’s actually happening in training… and what it feels like is happening emotionally. Why confidence often lags behind fitness. Why uncertainty never fully disappears, even for experienced athletes. And why learning to tolerate that uncertainty might be one of the most important skills in endurance sport. I also reflect on my own training, conversations with athletes, old experiences in Chamonix, and the subtle psychological effects of comparison culture and social media. This episode is about trust.Trusting consistency.Trusting the process.And trusting that progress often feels far less dramatic than we expect it to. In this episode: Why runners often feel behind even when training is going well The difference between objective progress and subjective feeling Why confidence reacts faster than fitness The hidden psychological cost of comparison and constant visibility Why endurance sport demands commitment before certainty How experienced athletes learn to tolerate ambiguity rather than eliminate it Why patience and emotional steadiness matter more than most people realise And maybe most importantly: How to keep moving forward even when you don’t fully trust where you are yet.

It’s about building something sustainable and meaningful around running and life.

You Don’t Need More Time. You Need a Different Season.
“I just don’t have enough time.” It’s something I hear constantly from runners.From parents. From professionals. From people trying to hold a lot together. But what if time isn’t the real problem? In this solo episode, I explore a pattern I see again and again in the athletes I coach. The tension that builds when ambition doesn’t match the season of life you’re in. The stress of trying to run a professional-level training schedule inside a very non-professional reality. This isn’t an episode about waking up earlier.Or squeezing more into your week.Or optimising your life. It’s about alignment. About recognising the season you’re in.About training honestly within your constraints.And about the maturity it takes to adapt your identity without lowering your standards. I also share a few reflections from my own recent season, from steady progress in training to the uncertainty of building a new running project, and how showing up consistently, even without immediate feedback, is not that different from good training. In this episode: Why “not enough time” is often a misdiagnosis The friction created when ambition and reality don’t align The hidden stress of pretending you’re in a different life season Why adapting your training is a sign of strength, not decline How clarity and acceptance often lead to better consistency and performance If this resonates, take a moment this week to ask yourself a different question: Are you training for the life you actually have? Support the Project I’m currently working on a big running project that means a great deal to me.

Why Do We Feel Guilty When Training Feels Easy?
In this solo episode, I explore a feeling many runners carry quietly: guilt when training feels easy. The sense that if a run doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t quite count. That we haven’t earned it. We unpack where that belief comes from, how endurance culture and comparison shape our relationship with effort, and why ease can feel undeserved even when we know it’s essential.
