Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance by Alex Hutchinson
sreader33's review against another edition
informative
slow-paced
3.5
Endure is an informative book that really gets into the science of endurance. There are some interesting stories of feats of endurance and a lot of talk about experiments and analyzing data. There were some pieces of advice that would pertain to endurance athletes but I thought there should be more. The science and theories were interesting but I was hoping for more ideas to get my brain ready to run 42 kn.

Hutchinson presents an interesting take on science of human beings pushing themselves to performance (and sometimes survival) limits. Like many reviewers have mentioned, this isn't meant to be a guide to how to improve one's own performance, but seeks to present the science behind human performance limits for the scientifically curious mind. Overall, Hutchinson does a great job of presenting interesting anecdotes and breaking down how our understanding of endurance and performance have progressed overtime.

This was really neat. It droned on a bit longer than I'd like, but for a nonfiction book that's pretty normal. 4.5/7
