  • Summary

  • Endurance sports are our most unrecognized Orwellian dystopia - weakness is strength, strength is weakness. Have athletes just reached a point where simplicity is truth? Or are we too willing except structures which see the few succeed and the many fail? Maybe those are two sides of the same coin. Taking a new view of the puzzle of individual endurance sport. Combing ideas from history, psychology, physiology, cultural anthropology, training methodology and more to understand the experience of an athlete and search for new ideas to help us grow and develop into the best possible version of our competitive selves. Black Cats Run strips it all back to the studs and offers a new, better way to feel good in training, racing, and, just maybe, in life.

    What do we do when nothing is doing what we want? We discuss three core issues of perspective that create the fog of war that's holding us back from seeing the results we hope to gain from all our time and effort. What limits us from seeing what's right in front of our nose?
