4d ago00:59:33Tap to summarizeThis week, the trio get into endurance running and the psychology behind physical challenges with a discussion of the Comrades Marathon as the ultimate test of human grit. They unpack the mental side of long-distance running, debate the role of diet in athletic performance, and explore how modern lifestyles have shaped—and perhaps warped—our natural physicality.The conversation then shifts to the bigger picture: personal responsibility, systems versus goals, the tension between specialisation and generalisation, and what hyper-specialisation is doing to our ability to think holistically.They wrap up with an examination of how societal changes quietly steer individual choices, and why a systems mindset might be the key to long-term health and well-being.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram
