The enthusiasm that animates his face when he’s talking about undergoing torturous pain… is fascinating. But sets him apart as an outlier. The question is: Is it really “endurance” if you enjoy or even crave suffering?
When comparing rowing to running Alex states rowing is done with the whole body. How is running not performed with the whole body, whether you are integrating all parts efficiently or not???
I’m fascinated how people like this don’t understand that poor people working several jobs have even more endurance but none of the reward that the privileged who choose to suffer get.
I enjoyed the interview, as i do all interviews that Malcolm Gladwell does. But I will admit, Alex’s appearance horrifies me. He is so gaunt. “Fit” is not the description that I would use. I literally did a search to see if he was undergoing cancer treatment. Yikes. He does seem like a kind, mentally lively, interesting, and all around lovely person. And I do not mean this as criticism toward him personally. But this really does scare me. Its does not inspire me to emulate this lifestyle. It’s the other extreme of and yet very similar someone who makes me nervous and concerned for their health when i see them wheezing from obesity. I’m actually concerned for him.

I really enjoyed this interview. Very well done!
Everything I learned in life of importance a woman taught me. Perseverance has been my most valuable lesson.
Good video. Bad audio, Hutchinson needs to have his mic volume turned up.
Yes it is. Simpler and easier can be discovered.
Wow, this is gold. Thank you for this content. I'm going for the book and for a run !

Was glad to hear her said rowing, it is.

Looks like a vampire.
He does not look healthy. Not sure endurance sports are good for us when taken to this extreme.
