EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Alex Hutchinson is a journalist, athlete and author of "Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance". What makes some of us quit while others can continue? Just how much of human performance is dictated by the mind and how much by the body? These are fundamental questions which all of us have contemplated, today we find the answers. Alex takes us through the fascinating research that went into his book. I was blown away by the insights as he breaks down the components that make up "endurance" and gives us some fantastic tools to improve our own.

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Narrator, Endure; Finding The Limits Of Human Performance | Alex Hutchinson explores How Your Brain Quietly Controls — And Expands — Endurance Limits Alex Hutchinson explains that endurance is less about muscles and oxygen and more about “the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop.” He describes how scientific thinking has shifted from viewing the body as a machine with fixed limits to seeing effort and perception—mediated by the brain—as the true governors of performance.
