Adrenaline, Startle Responses and Strength

Alex Hutchinson is a journalist, athlete and author of "Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance".

What makes some of us quit while others can continue? Just how much of human performance is dictated by the mind and how much by the body? These are fundamental questions which all of us have contemplated, today we find the answers.

Alex takes us through the fascinating research that went into his book. I was blown away by the insights as he breaks down the components that make up "endurance" and gives us some fantastic tools to improve our own.
