ENDURE

ENDURE by Alex Hutchinson (twitter: @sweatscience)

A no nonsense evidence based book which talks about unusual parameters influencing Physical Endurance (can be applied even to Psychological/ Mental Effort).

Includes:
1. Lots of research on marathon runners
2. Relationship between the mind and the limits of performance.

Highlights:
Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE)- this is a game changer- must read for those who want to OPTIMISE their effort- physical/mental.

1. The Central Governor Does Exist – But Still Baffles 
2. Perceived Exertion May Be Our Most Important Metric
3. Endurance Athletes Have a Higher Pain Tolerance (which may effect RPE)
