Luis talks with Marc Banyuls about everything that is not usually shown in ultradistance: physiological wear and tear, accumulated fatigue, and the errors that most affect performance in efforts of many hours. During the episode, they talk about hydration, electrolyte balance, nutritional strategies, and how small mistakes can make the difference between performing well or suffering in the last kilometers. They also delve into the role of the mind in long events, the placebo effect on performance, and how perception can modify fatigue and the feeling of energy during a competition. An episode focused on understanding what really happens in the body when we push the physical limit for hours.
