Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance

[Did not finish] The storytelling starts off strong: the author describes his own running career, follows the start of Nike’s Breaking2 project, and shares stories of explorers� trips to the South Pole. The following chapters are then structured by different endurance factors (effort, pain, oxygen, thirst, heat, etc.) and how the mind and body interact in that element. However, these chapters started to feel like lists of academic studies, with not much curation in terms of which research was valid or not (e.g. Hutchinson might recap a study and then say the results were never replicated). It's basically a dump of research on various topics without much of a meta-narrative beyond "mind and body both matter." Not a bad book, but I wasn’t able to stay engaged.
