- 'The Eternal Suffering of the Endurance Mind: Lessons Learned from Tackling the Impossible'
What’s the most physically grueling workout, athletic competition, or even you’ve ever done and what strategies did you use to get through it?
In this excellent TEDxUniversityofBolton talk, Dr Colin Robertson shows that success in these endurance sports is all about your mental ability to handle the pain and fatigue of oxygen debt, about your ability to master the limits that you think you have.
Dr Colin Robertson is Senior Lecturer in Sports and Exercise Science at the University of Bolton.
Colin has been involved in human performance and sports science his entire professional career, and is currently the Head of the Athletic Development Centre, University of Bolton.
Over the past five years Colin has traveled the globe to speak at an extensive number of international conferences, on issues and topics ranging from nutrition, chronobiology, athlete preparation, and the changing state of health in western industrialised countries.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
one of the most meaningful TEDx talks I have watched. BRAVO.
Thank you, I had run 5 Marathons after 50, training now for April 2019 OKC at 68 with one lung gone (cancer) medically cleared to run again. Your one of the voices that helps me to keep training despite the odds and discouragements. Thanks
Hi Bill, that is incredible! And very humbling to hear that my talk has helped in some small way. Thank you.
Congrats but you should probably cut running back to a max of 20 miles per week. Just watched a video on the harmful effects of to much running. (endurance training)
I had no idea a human could live with one lung. That’s crazy. What did they replace it with? That would be cool if you could store stuff where your lung used to be. Like turn it into a camel back or something. Camel lung.
@@humanofearth7524 While there are artificial lungs in most cases they are simply taken out and the body starts building connective tissue.
Dang man thanks for the inspiration!!
Truly one of my favorite ted talks. And I am glad I’m watching it at this time in my life. I needed this.
Thank you - I really hope it helped with whatever you were dealing with.
1. keep moving forward
2. 10% rule
3. you need help
4. pay attention to pain
One of the best TALKINGS all times!!!
He is my uncle
like Alan watts said, some people have to suffer to experience their bless of existence.
Great ....simply great work
Very insightful indeed. In my experience as a cyclist, this comes close to what drives me. One additional factor, however, is distraction from those very questions about the meaning of life. So there's a bit of a paradox it seems. Endurance sports both explores, and distracts from, existential questions.
Joost de Moor I couldn't have said it better brother. keep those demons at bay.
My lecturer on TEDx *legend*
great talk, I do middle distance swimming, but what you said about endurance is very true
That was great! Thank you
never thought of it like that...spot on Doctor Robertson:)
I started the video as normal you tube suggestion but this one just gave me a spark I was missing from past few days. A good talk and motivational one "bravo"
Class.
YES! Great talk!
Colin, you nailed it! I really enjoyed your talk, thanks!
He is actually my uncle :)
@@oliviawhite8148 omg hi
You have given me a new insight. I now look at dieting as an endurance sport. Similar issues arise about pain and suffering and our human spirit to endure and overcome them.
My 'marathon' was 8 months without sweets. What is yours? :)
@@natalijar5989 mine was 1 year and 5 months of 2 straight cold showers a day
Great talk!
LusoCMD thank you
Got me wondering what the limit of endurance sport is, like he said people aren’t impressed by people doing marathons or even iron mans now. Soon people wont be impressed by people doing 100 mile runs
Scott Cockburn I recently ran a self supported 314 mile run from Kentucky to Georgia to find out my limits. Nothing but what I could carry on my back. 3 pounds of gear. And water was usually 4 pounds. And I didn’t reach my limits. I finished in 8 days. The winner in 3 days and 14 hours
