Figure out the science and psychology behind endurance in this insightful book. Learn how perceived physical limits are influenced by both the brain and the body, and how understanding this connection can help unlock hidden potential. Author Alex Hutchinson, an award-winning journalist and former national-team long-distance runner, explores various physical limits – pain, muscle, oxygen, heat, thirst, and fuel – and shares compelling stories of individuals who have pushed their own boundaries.
Hutchinson was granted exclusive access to Nike’s top-secret project aimed at breaking the two-hour marathon barrier, offering unique insights and lessons that can be applied universally. Endurance, he explains, is the struggle to keep going despite the desire to stop, and we all have the ability to push ourselves a little farther. Embrace the power of endurance and enhance your performance in every aspect of life.
