What happens inside your brain when you’re pushing your limits?
In this episode, we sit down with Professor David Spindler to explore the science behind better performance. From making decisions under fatigue to managing emotions during hard efforts, we discuss how your brain influences the way you train, race, and recover.
David explains why breathing is one of the simplest and most effective tools for regulating your nervous system, how your brain responds when you’re under physical stress, and what athletes can do to make better decisions when the pressure is on. We also dive into pacing strategies, mental resilience, and how a better understanding of the brain can help you perform more consistently, both in sport and everyday life.
Whether you’re preparing for your next race or simply looking to train smarter, this conversation is full of practical insights that will change the way you think about performance.
