Title: Endure Pdf Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance
“This book is AMAZING!” (MALCOLM GLADWELL)“Makes the case that we’re actually underestimating our potential, and reveals how we can all surpass our perceived physical limits.” (Adam Grant, LinkedIn.com)“If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson’s Endure.” (Bear Grylls, Mt. Everest summiteer and host of NBC’s Running Wild with Bear Grylls)“Fascinating (and motivating). ... Hutchinson sheds light on how humans accomplish our most absurd athletic achievements.” (Esquire)“A perfect book for the armchair athlete. ... If you ever wonder, How do they do that? Hutchinson has the answers. ... Discovers that what we think of as our limits are set by our minds, not by our bodies.” (Success (”AHA! Reading List”))“Alex Hutchinson’s Endure is so much more than a sports book. It is a voyage to the outer reaches of human capacity.” (DAVID EPSTEIN, author of The Sports Gene)“Hutchinson looks at the art and science of endurance, with a focus on running but with take-aways that can be applied to any project, mental or physical.” (Globe and Mail (Toronto))“[Hutchinson] has a true gift for writing compelling sports stories and combining them with deft analyses of cutting-edge research. ... A captivating and often moving book with something to offer readers interested in health, athleticism, neuroscience, and the human condition.” (Kirkus (*starred review*))“Persuasive and motivating. ... Transports readers to a realm where psychology, environment, and physiology all intersect.” (Booklist (*starred review*))“Want to achieve more? Often that means you have to do more -- and Alex will show you how.” (Inc.)

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Foreword by Malcolm Gladwell
"Reveals how we can all surpass our perceived physical limits." — Adam Grant
Limits are an illusion: a revolutionary account of the science and psychology of endurance, revealing the secrets of reaching the hidden extra potential within us all.
The capacity to endure is the key trait that underlies great performance in virtually every field. But what if we all can go farther, push harder, and achieve more than we think we’re capable of?
Blending cutting-edge science and gripping storytelling in the spirit of Malcolm Gladwell—who contributes the book’s foreword—award-winning journalist Alex Hutchinson reveals that a wave of paradigm-altering research over the past decade suggests the seemingly physical barriers you encounter as set as much by your brain as by your body. This means the mind is the new frontier of endurance—and that the horizons of performance are much more elastic than we once thought.
But, of course, 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 body by telling the riveting stories of men and women who’ve pushed their own limits in extraordinary ways.
The longtime “Sweat Science” columnist for Outside and Runner’s World, Hutchinson, a former national-team long-distance runner and Cambridge-trained physicist, was one of only two reporters granted access to Nike’s top-secret training project to break the two-hour marathon barrier, an extreme quest he traces throughout the book.

Endurance, Hutchinson writes, is “the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop”—and we’re always capable of pushing a little farther.
Engaging with useful information. Should be of great interest for athletes and non-athletes alike. I worked for a time in the Nike Sports Research Lab where we studied some of the concepts that the author describes in detail. This book is the most thoughtful, complete, and engaging I have read on the subject of endurance and the mind. Now if I can just remember next time I'm at the 120 mile mark of the Tuscobia Winter Ultra...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.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!
