About this Event
Welcome to the RBC Bristol event, where we'll be diving into September’s theme, Endurance, through this month's read, , by Alex Hutchinson.
In Endure, Hutchinson reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science’s search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs’ legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals - whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid - and reveals that we can train to improve brain response.
Why we chose to read Endure: "If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson’s Endure." - Bear Grylls
Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.
