If you can’t endure discomfort, you’re not going to make it very far in your training, not to mention your life.
Lifting weights is hard. Doing HIIT is hard. Stick to a diet is hard. Learning valuable skills is hard. Burning the midnight oil at work is hard. Overcoming setbacks is hard.
What’s more, willpower and motivation are notoriously fickle, and when they’re at a low ebb due to poor sleep, stress, angst, or whatever else get us down some days, everything only gets harder.
That’s why it’s often the ability to endure that separates the successful from the unsuccessful in just about every arena of life, not just athletics
Now, endurance can be defined in many ways, but my guest Alex Hutchinson has an elegant one: the strength to continue despite an increasing desire to stop.
Even if you aren’t an endurance athlete (I’m not), understanding how people find the physical and mental stamina and grit to finish marathons and other even more extreme endurance events can help you reach more of your own finish lines, inside and outside of the gym.
In fact, one of the reasons so many people enjoy endurance exercise is because of how it empowers them to struggle through hardship of any kind.
All of this is why I invited accomplished endurance athlete, writer, and researcher Alex Hutchinson back on the show.
In case you’re not familiar with Alex, he’s a New York Times bestselling author of several books including his most recent, Endure, as well as an award-winning science journalist and former physicist and national-class runner.
And in this interview, he shares many of the insights he gleaned from researching and writing his book Endure, including how the brain influences our physical and mental limits, how elite athletes are able to exceed these limits, how to “recharge” after intense effort, and more.
Let’s get to it.

25:41 - Does enduring physical pain improve your ability to push through discomfort in other areas of your life?
31:32 - What are some strategies to recharge between mentally demanding tasks?
50:02 - Does incorporating fun into your life improve sleep and decrease anxiety?
