What if your limits aren’t real? What if the wall you hit in training—or in life—is just your brain trying to protect you?

In this episode of The Highly Effective Man Podcast, we break down the truth about endurance and why your mind, not your body, is the real governor of your performance. Drawing insights from Endure by Alex Hutchinson, I’ll show you how to push past mental barriers and train your brain to go further than you ever thought possible.

🚀 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why endurance is more mental than physical – and how to break past self-imposed limits
✅ The science behind pushing through pain and training smarter
✅ How I applied these principles to have my best CrossFit Open ever—and how you can use them too
✅ The key to high-volume work capacity—how to train hard without burning out
✅ Elite-level recovery strategies to help you train harder, longer, and injury-free

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
✅ Why recovery is the missing key to peak performance.
✅ How to fuel your body so you actually build muscle (instead of wrecking it).
