Exploring the limits of human performance: What are we truly capable of achieving?

In this conversation, science journalist and former national-team runner Alex Hutchinson and Dr. Greg explore the “curiously elastic” limits of human performance—why endurance underpins achievement across domains, and how the brain co-sets the ceiling we feel in the body. Drawing on the research behind Endure, Alex discussed how perception of effort, context, and belief interact with physiology to shape what we can actually do in sport, work, and life.
