Just finished "The Explorer's Gene" by Alex Hutchinson. Hutchinson is a classic polymath, holding a PhD in Physics and masters in journalism. He is also an accomplishing runner and adept, having written NY Times best selling book called "Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance." The Explorer's Gene is about the power of exploring the unknown, breaking routines, and embracing the risks and rewards of exploration. In this episode, we cover how: 1. Hutchinson differs from James Clear, identifying the virtues and vices of too much routine, especially when it comes at the expense of exploration; 2. Novelty seeking;3. Nassim Taleb and small bet/big reward exploration;4. Traveling like a flaneur;5. Exploration of the unknown versus exploitation of the known.
Exploration. The search for the unknown has shaped the history of our species, molding our behavior in ways we are only beginning to understand. And that understanding is about to come into focus for us today, thanks to today's guest, best-selling author and one of my favorite writers, Dr. Alex Hutchinson. Alex is well known, both for his popular Outside Magazine columns on the topic of sweat science, and his exceptional book Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. His book influenced the direction I took with my own PhD work. He first joined us waaaay back in 2019 – one of our first 20 episodes ever recorded – which now number over 350. He brings a fascinating background as an elite runner, a PhD in Physics and is basically who I want to be when I grow up – except he's a decade younger than me.You're going to love this discussion. SO many insights covering our draw toward exploration and what it means for high performance and life. I got a chance to read an early release of his new book: The Explorer's Gene – and it is outstanding. I've underlined and scribbled all over it, which is a good sign. We'll have a link to it in the show notes.You can find his new book, along with other valuable resources on his website at AlexHutchinson.netInfo re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Alex Hutchinson, award-winning journalist and author “The Explorer’s Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map,” discusses the reasons behind human exploration. Hutchinson talks about the historical significance of human exploration and delves into the neuroscience and psychology behind why we are driven to test the limits of our abilities and to expand our knowledge. Hutchinson expands on the significant role dopamine plays in providing the fuel and desire and the ‘free energy principle’, which suggests humans seek to minimize surprise and uncertainty. Hutchinson shares his own personal stories, along with what we can learn about exploration from observing children at play and says it’s crucial to maintain some exploration for personal growth and fulfillment especially as we grow older. Guest: Alex Hutchinson , Writer, award-winning journalist who covers the science of endurance and author “The Explorer’s Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map,” and “Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance.”
What drives us to venture into the unknown—even when there's no finish line or prize at the end? In this episode of Trail Runner Nation, we sit down with author and science journalist Alex Hutchinson to explore the ideas behind his new book, The Explorer's Gene: Why we Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map. From ancient Polynesian voyages to backyard adventures with his kids, Alex uncovers how the drive to explore is deeply rooted in both our biology and our upbringing. We discuss how exploration shapes personal growth, why uncertainty triggers our motivation, and how everyday choices can satisfy our innate desire for discovery. Make sure you have his award-winning book, Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, which explores the boundaries of human potential on your reading list.

Episode 2432: Christian Finn's article explores the controversial practice of cold water immersion after workouts. While acknowledging benefits like reduced soreness and improved mood, Finn delves into research suggesting that ice baths might impede muscle growth. He highlights studies showing less muscle hypertrophy in those using ice baths post-exercise, proposing that ice baths may diminish the body's natural muscle-building response. Finn also discusses the possibility of psychological effects playing a role in perceived recovery benefits. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://muscleevo.net/ice-baths-muscle-growth/ Quotes to ponder: "Cold water immersion appeared to put the brakes on muscle growth, with the passive recovery group – the guys who sat in a chair for 15 minutes after each workout – posting the biggest increase in the size of their fast-twitch muscle fibers." "In short, by working against your body's natural response to tissue damage, you may end up slowing your progress rather than speeding it up."

This year it seems like course records throughout trail running have been dropping like flies. UltraRunning Magazine lists hundreds of new records for both men and women on their site. Some of these records are decades old. Are we getting faster? It sure seems like that. Alex Hutchinson has also been wondering this and decided to do his science thing and find out the truth.

Alex Hutchinson is an author and journalist in Toronto. His primary focus is the science of endurance and fitness, which he covers for Outside magazine (where he is also a contributing editor and writes the “Sweat Science” column), The Globe and Mail (where he writes the Jockology column), and Canadian Running magazine. Alex has also covered technology for Popular Mechanics, where he earned a National Magazine Award for my energy reporting, and adventure travel for the New York Times, and was a Runner's World columnist from 2012 to 2017. Alex's book ENDURE: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance is an exploration of the science (and mysteries) of endurance. 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, as well as the book “Big Ideas: 100 Modern Inventions That Have Transformed Our World”, in 2009. Alex 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. Alex still runs most days, enjoy the rigors of hard training, and the occasionally race.

If you want to be happy, it helps that you have happy friends. And it helps even more if your friends' friends are happy too. I begin this episode discussing how social connections can influence our health and happiness. Source: Tom Rath author of Well Being (https://amzn.to/3xcMYUM) You probably think you know what your physical limits are. For example, when you exercise, you know when to stop because you “hit the wall.” Actually though, that may not be such a good indicator. You could likely do more. That's according to Alex Hutchinson. He says human endurance is flexible. After all, people break records all the time. People can achieve what was once thought to be impossible. How does that all work? Listen to this fascinating discussion with Alex who is author of the book Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance (https://amzn.to/3n9j7I7) You could define rest by what you are NOT doing. We often look at rest as something we do to take a break from something else. However, that may be looking at rest all wrong. Rest turns out to be more complicated than that. Board-certified internal medicine physician Saundra Dalton-Smith says humans need different types of rest to restore different parts of ourselves. Even if you get plenty of sleep, there are other things that can mentally exhaust you and people who can leave you drained regardless of how much sleep you get. For those things you need a different kind of rest. In fact, Sandra has identified 7 kinds. She joins me to explain rest in a whole new way. Saundra is author of the book Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity (https://amzn.to/2RA9t5w). Spring can be very uncomfortable if you have allergies. Listen as I reveal some simple yet effective strategies to fight back against those allergy symptoms that make you miserable so you can enjoy the pleasures of spring.

We all have habits that are our Kryptonite - just like the green, crystalline material that weakened Superman. And those habits prevent us from reaching our greatest potential. Steve Tague discovered his Kryptonite, late in life — and it transformed his future. We often think of endurance as something only elite athletes possess — but it's actually a mental skill we can all cultivate. And nobody better to teach us how than our latest guest, Steve Tague. Steve is a masters indoor rowing world champion and a world record-holder. He's also the owner of Rowed to Fitness; a certified rowing, fitness, and sports nutrition coach; commercial photographer and owner of Steve Tague Studios. Listen to the full episode for more on Steve's journey (both as an athlete and as a business owner), a surprise discovery about his diet that led Steve to fulfilling his athletic potential, how to cultivate more endurance, and more. Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn: How Steve got started in photography, even when he didn't have much “direction” in high school More about Steve's transition from a small town in Southern California to moving to New York City to pursue his photography career Why Steve eventually moved back to the West Coast and settled in Bend, Oregon More about Steve's entry into local news, and then the banking business A story from Steve's childhood sports career, and what it taught him How Steve figured out his food allergies, and how that discovery led to him feeling “like Superman” The backstory of Steve getting involved with masters rowing at age 55 and why he was “devastated” when he placed seventh in the world at a competition How Steve measures success in his life Why so many limits are mental constructs, and why endurance can be such a powerful characteristic, both in life and in business Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Rowed to Fitness Tague Photo Rowed to Fitness on Facebook “Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance” by Alex Hutchinson 40 Strategy Contact 40 Strategy Carl J.

Years ago, a hot new book by one of my favorite columnists came out. I was leaving to speak at a conference taking place on a cruise ship (still my fav speaking engagement to date) but I couldn't wait to dig in. So I contacted the author to see if it was possible to have an advanced copy shipped to the hotel and he made me a deal: he'd send me a PDF if I promised to buy a copy once it was available to the public. Done. I still have that PDF, covered with notes, underlines, asterisks and underlines. It didn't hurt that his subject aligned closely w/ my PhD work, but the way he so effectively merged research grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go, even when that resulted in reading it on the beach during one of the cruise ship stops. Today we'll dig into the curiously elastic limits of human performance with the writer whose work continues to shape the course of how we're applying science here in the real world of endurance pursuits. Welcome to latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast. Today's guest is Dr. Alex Hutchinson, THE sweat scientist & author of one of my all-time favorite books Endure: Mind, Body, & the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. He also has a PhD in physics & was a 2-time finalist in the 1500 at the Canadian Olympic Trials. He makes his home in Toronto and writes for Outside Magazine, Runners World, Wall Street Journal, NY Times and many others!

Today we are discussing the age-old question: are ice baths good for your health? It is a topic that has divided fitness enthusiasts and athletes for years, with some claiming that ice baths can help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, while others argue that they can be harmful to the body. First, let us define what an ice bath is. An ice bath is a recovery method in which a person immerses their body in a tub of cold water and ice for a brief period, usually 10-15 minutes. The water temperature is typically around 50-59 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, let us dive into the potential benefits of ice baths. Some proponents of ice baths argue that the cold water can help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness after a workout. This is because cold water can constrict blood vessels, which can help reduce swelling and inflammation. In addition, cold water can numb nerve endings, which can provide temporary pain relief. However, it is important to note that the research on the effectiveness of ice baths is mixed. We decided to find out what the research has to say. Alex Hutchinson has written about the research multiple times and he joins The Nation to review the research and give us his opinion. Alex mentioned the book The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning Here are some of his articles: Ice baths, cryosaunas, sleep trackers: If it feels good, should you do it?
