In this episode Crystal, Andy, and Chandler are joined by journalist and author Alex Hutchinson. Alex wrote for Runner's World from 2012 - 2017 and is currently a contributing editor and writer of the Sweat Science column for Outside. This month he released his third book, "ENDURE: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance"

We discuss the limits of endurance. We learn how a lot of what we perceive are physical limits may actually be triggered in the brain. We cover topics such as:

Hitting the wall
Tricking your brain when you are low on fuel
Fatigue
Pain vs. Effort
Why you really should smile
The next big trend in psychobiology
