Endurance sports are our most unrecognized Orwellian dystopia - weakness is strength, strength is weakness. Have athletes just reached a point where simplicity is truth? Or are we too willing except structures which see the few succeed and the many fail? Maybe those are two sides of the same coin. Black Cats Run takes a new view of the puzzle of individual endurance sport. It combines ideas from history, psychology, physiology, cultural anthropology, training methodology understand the experience of the athlete and search for new ideas to help us grow and develop into the best possible version of our competitive selves. Black Cats Run strips it all back to the studs and offers a new, better way to feel good in training, racing, and, just maybe, in life.
