About this podcast

Dive deep into the science of endurance with Dr. Andrew Huberman as he unravels the complexities of sustaining effort over time, for both brain and body. This episode explores the four distinct types of endurance training—muscular endurance, long-duration efforts, and two forms of high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—providing actionable protocols to enhance each. Learn about the crucial role of oxygenation, hydration strategies (including the Galpin Equation), and how to leverage your heart and lungs for superior performance. Dr. Huberman also delves into the psychological aspects of motivation, how to overcome the urge to quit, and the physiological basis of tapping into an "extra gear" when fatigue sets in, offering invaluable insights for athletes and anyone looking to boost their mental and physical resilience.
