The Pursuit of Endurance by Jennifer Pharr Davis - on Libby Audio, 12 hours, 42 minutes

 I really enjoyed listening to this upright strong woman share her research about endurance. She interviewed well-known through-hikers and ultra marathoners and tried to uncover what makes them endure so well. She also interviewed physicians and other anatomy experts and shared their insights as well. It was an engaging listen, and I felt motivated to work out harder and longer as a result of listening to her,

I have read her earlier book about her experience on the AT, so it was good to get this follow-up on her life and hear how it's going. She's serious and yet knows how to have fun. She stays humble as she interviews these luminaries, while she is a record-setter in her own right. 

I have been walking to a park a mile and a half away from home, and working on my pull-ups in the playground there. I also do lunges and squats. I noticed that I wanted to do better and work out harder during the days I was listening to Jennifer. All good info, and lots of interesting insights about the people who set records for endurance. I am not in their league but I love reading about them!
