How to Build Endurance | Huberman Lab Essentials

Podcast briefing

Building endurance relies on training both physical systems and the nervous system for sustained effort.

Andrew Huberman explains how endurance is a function of the body's ability to produce and utilize energy, focusing on five main systems: nerve, muscle, blood, heart, and lungs. Willpower and the decision to continue or quit are governed largely by the brain, especially through the release of epinephrine, rather than purely by physical limitations.
