HYROX, Exploration and the Science of Endurance - Alex Hutchinson
Rox Lyfe - The HYROX Podcast
The Decline of Creativity: The Impact of Play on Innovation
This chapter explores the decline of creativity amid rising IQ scores, highlighting the impact of screen time and decreased outdoor play. It advocates for the importance of play in fostering creativity and enhancing life's meaning for both children and adults.
Super excited to bring you this week’s episode with the brilliant Alex Hutchinson (@sweat_science)!
Alex is one of the most respected voices in sports science and endurance performance. A journalist, author, and former national-level runner, he writes about the science of human limits.
His book Endure is a must-read for anyone interested in pushing their endurance limits, and his latest, The Explorer’s Gene, dives into why we explore and seek out hard challenges (such as HYROX).
We break down key ideas from both books, how they connect to HYROX, and the mental + physiological factors that define endurance.
I’ve been a huge fan of Alex for a long time, and this chat did NOT disappoint. If you want to understand what it really takes to go beyond your limits, and why we love to do that, this is a must-listen. 🚀
