In this episode of Endurance State of Mind, we sit down with Mississippi endurance athlete Jamie Stevison, a runner who has quickly built a reputation for doing what most people won’t—waking up at 2 a.m. to train before work, putting in double-digit miles daily, and showing up no matter what.

Jamie’s journey into endurance sports didn’t start with a lifelong passion for running. It started during one of the hardest seasons of his life. After going through a divorce, he turned to running as an outlet—and what began as a way to cope quickly turned into something much bigger.

In just a short period of time, Jamie went from running his first miles on a treadmill to competing across multiple distances including 5Ks, half marathons, marathons, and 50Ks. Along the way, he dropped over 40 pounds, ran a sub-3-hour marathon, and even won his first ultra race.

But this episode isn’t just about results—it’s about discipline.

We dive deep into:

• How Jamie structures his life around consistency
• Why he wakes up at 2–3 a.m. to train
• The mindset shift from motivation to discipline
• Lessons learned from early race mistakes, including hitting the wall in his first marathon
• How he balances work, marriage, and high-level training
• His transition from road racing into the ultra world
• Why “I don’t have time” is the most common excuse—and how to overcome it

Jamie also shares his future goals, including stepping into longer distances like 50 miles and 100-mile races, and preparing for the Boston Marathon.

If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent, finding time to train, or pushing past your limits, this episode will challenge you to rethink what’s possible.

Because at the end of the day, endurance isn’t just about how far you can go—it’s about how often you’re willing to show up.
