In this episode, Dr. Jannine Krause is joined by Brad Kearns—New York Times bestselling author, Guinness World Record-setting speed golfer, former national champion, and #3 world-ranked professional athlete. As the host of the B. Rad podcast and a top-ranked high jumper, Brad is passionate about promoting lifelong peak performance through fitness and mindset. Today's podcast dives into his new book with Mark Sisson, Born to Walk, which questions conventional fitness wisdom around endurance running and asks whether the idea of “more suffering equals better results” might be misleading.
