Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance
Description
What determines how far the human body can go—and what makes us stop? Drawing on cutting-edge research, unforgettable stories of elite athletes and adventurers, and his own experience as an endurance competitor, Alex Hutchinson investigates the physical and psychological forces that shape performance. From pain and fatigue to motivation, temperature, oxygen, and the brain’s perception of effort, the book explores whether our limits are fixed or surprisingly adaptable. Insightful and thought-provoking, it offers a compelling look at the science of endurance and the extraordinary potential of the human mind and body.
