"  ~ Dr. Alex Hutchinson ABOUT THE GUEST:  Dr. Alex Hutchinson is an author and journalist in Toronto. His primary focus these days is the science of endurance and fitness, which he covers for Outside (where he is a contributing editor and writes the Sweat Science column), The Globe and Mail (where he writes the Jockology column), and Canadian Running magazine. He has also covered technology for Popular Mechanics (where he earned a National Magazine Award for his energy reporting) and adventure travel for the New York Times, and was a Runner’s World columnist from 2012 to 2017. His latest book, published in February 2018, is an exploration of the science (and mysteries) of endurance. It’s called ENDURE: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. Before that, he wrote a practical guide to the science of fitness, called Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights? Fitness Myths, Training Truths, and Other Surprising Discoveries from the Science of Exercise, which was published in 2011. He also wrote Big Ideas: 100 Modern Inventions That Have Transformed Our World, in 2009. He actually started out as a physicist, with a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge then a few years as a postdoctoral researcher with the U.S. National Security Agency, working on quantum computing and nanomechanics. During that time, he competed as a middle- and long-distance runner for the Canadian national team, mostly as a miler but also dabbling in cross-country and even a bit of mountain running. He still runs most days, enjoys the rigors of hard training, and occasionally races. But he hates to think how he’d do on an undergraduate physics exam. --- If you order Steven's new book, The Art of Impossible, right now, you’ll get $1,500 of free bonuses immediately dropped into your inbox. They include secret chapters he has never released, masterclasses on key skills to help you jack up motivation, heighten creativity, and accelerate learning. You’ll also get an entirely free training to help you fight distraction and spend more time in flow. So click the link here, snag yourself a copy of The Art of Impossible, and let’s get after it. 👉 https://www.theartofimpossible.com/
