This brand new paperback edition isbn: 9780008308186 blends pioneering research with vivid storytelling to explain why endurance often comes down to the brain as much as the body. It’s a must-read for those seeking a trusted, evidence-driven look at how we push past perceived limits. In endure, alex hutchinson, ph.D., Takes readers on a tour through the science of fatigue and human performance. Moving from early experiments with electricity and frogs’ legs to the latest brain imaging, hutchinson challenges the traditional mechanical view of endurance. Rather than seeing muscles alone as the deciding factor, he shows how the brain interprets distress signals heat, cold, pain, and lactic acid and how that interpretation sets the true limits of performance. Crucially, he explains how training can reshape those brain responses, offering practical insight for improving stamina and resilience.
