The Art of Endurance: Stretching Your Performance Boundaries

Course Overview

Where does endurance come from, and can we increase it to perform beyond our limits? Those are the questions Olympic-class runner turned award-winning journalist Alex Hutchinson tackles in his book Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance.

Examining extraordinary feats of endurance, Hutchinson determines that limits aren’t as rigid as they seem – and we can push beyond perceived performance barriers. In this course, you’ll learn why limits are an illusion and how to stretch through yours with techniques from Hutchinson’s book.
