Title: Endure Pdf Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance

Featuring a foreword by Malcolm Gladwell

Writing from both the cutting edge of scientific discovery and the front-lines of elite athletic performance, National Magazine Award-winning science journalist Alex Hutchinson presents a revolutionary account of the dynamic and controversial new science of endurance.

The capacity to endure is perhaps the key trait that separates champions and determines great performance in any field - from a 100-meter sprint to a 100-mile ultramarathon, from summiting Everest to acing finals. But what if everything we've been taught about endurance was wrong? What if we all have more potential than we think to go farther, push harder, and achieve more?

Blending cutting-edge science and gripping storytelling in the vein of Malcolm Gladwell - who forewords the book - Hutchinson reveals that a wave of paradigm-altering research over the past decade suggests that the seemingly physical barriers you encounter are mediated as much by your brain as by your body. But it's not "all in your head." For each of the physical limits that Hutchinson explores - pain, muscle, oxygen, heat, thirst, fuel - he carefully disentangles the delicate interplay of mind and muscle by telling the riveting stories of men and women who've approached (and sometimes surpassed) their own ultimate limits.

As the longtime "Sweat Science" columnist for Outside and Runner's World as well as a frequent contributor to The New Yorker and New York Times, Hutchinson draws on his background as a former national-team long-distance runner and Cambridge-trained physicist. But the lessons he draws from traveling to labs around the world and trying out new endurance-boosting techniques like electric brain stimulation and brain endurance training are surprisingly universal. Endurance, he writes, is "the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop" - and we're always capable of pushing a little farther.

This book is an amazing read that looks at the interplay between the physiological and psychological aspects of human performance. It needs to be the next book that you read. The author spent many years researching and writing this epic book and it shows in every page you turn. It's one of those books you just can't seem to put down and once you're through the process you'll end up knowing more about the inner workings of your own mind & body than you ever thought possible.Very informative and a must-read for anyone working on their own personal fitness As a recreationer runner, it's often overwhelming to sort through all of the fitness advice out there. Endure helped a ton in understanding how the human body reacts to different conditions and stimulus and as much as I learned from the interesting stories and advanced science discussed in the book, I also took away a lot that I can apply to my own fitness. For example, the section about sport drinks and mid-race carbs was something I have always wondered about. Highly recommended!Writing this on a full sweat (or is it just my mind?) The interesting thing is that most people DON'T die of exhaustion, Tim Noakes noted in the 1997. Thus starting with the hypothesis that your mind is protecting you from breaking your body. Very good, It is all in your mind. But protection comes with a cost. Your mind is also stopping you from doing the best you can. And that’s the main subject of this book. Alex is compiling the current science developments on human performance (2018 stuff) which includes a great deal of brain training. To make things more dramatic, he sets the book within Nike’s Breaking2 project. He starts making you hear Kipchoge's strides while running the fastest marathon ever. By consequence you may end up in a full sweat while reading this book.
