For a long time, it was assumed that fatigue was a muscular phenomenon. It was thought be a set point and once you hit it, you couldn't go any further—like running into a wall. However, more recent research has showed that it's actually much more of mental phenomenon. Our brain shuts us down before our body does, in order to protect us from injury, exhaustion, or even death. (See: Tim Noakes's central governor theory and Samuele Marcora's model of fatigue, both of which we discuss in today's episode.) This presents us with an interesting conundrum: We have to get to know our fatigue extremely well, so that we know how to navigate all the signals it's sending us. Knowing when to ignore your brain's warning signs, and when to heed them, has far-ranging consequences for everything from endurance sports to creative work. So today we're teaching you the steps to help you learn how to dance with your fatigue.<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r-q7svMMRcMjrPaoXzaS0hlDA8WJWMWvqujPfLEze3o/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here </a>for an AI-generated, unedited transcriptIf you have a question for us, send an email to clay.growtheq@gmail.com or call our voicemail at ‪(646) 893-9503‬.<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Way-Excellence-Greatness-Satisfaction-Chaotic/dp/0063385945" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click to pre-order </a>Brad's new book, "The Way of Excellence," which Steve Kerr, nine-time NBA Champion, is calling "an absolutely beautiful book" Subscribe to <a href="https://thegrowtheq.com/newsletters/geq/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Growth Equation newsletter</a>If you are enjoying "excellence, actually," do us a huge favor: text your favorite episode to three people so they can enjoy it, too.
