616. The Readiness Thought Experiment: The 1% Way to Train Decisions Under Pressure | ENDURE BEYOND
Thu Feb 05 2026
Most people train effort. The 1% train readiness.
In Episode 616, Darius runs a series of thought experiments to solve real readiness problems at the intersection of performance physiology + sport psychology—how you hold decision-quality under fatigue, how you stay calm when the system degrades, and how you build a body and mind that can operate anywhere.
You’ll walk away with:
A simple method to stress-test your routines without breaking yourself
The “readiness variables” that predict collapse: sleep, load, heat, isolation, uncertainty
How to train composure + output at the same time (not separately)
A weekly readiness audit you can run in 10 minutes
How this ties into the HER Readiness Progression (expansion-ready traits for normal humans)
If you want deeper frameworks, subscribe to ENDURE BEYOND GOLD, access the CTC Playbook and the HER Engine
