Louis Wu went from hating running to completing a 100-kilometer mountain race by obsessing over data and tracking his progress. He discovered that repeated training raised his pain tolerance, and that weekly sleep average matters more than any single night's rest for performance.

You won't realize the beauty of life until you really try hard. I hated running at the very beginning. I found it boring. I love data. The accumulated mileage and improvement over time, that got me actually excited, you know, focused to achieve something.
When I say achieve is really want to touch the limit of your personal performance.
Yeah, the pain always exists. And it's the pain tolerance that went higher and higher over training, over experience.
From hating running to completing a 100K mountain race, Louis Wu, an ultramarathoner, a climber, and CEO of COROS, he proves that breakthroughs are built, not found.
Because in the end, what decides your total body performance is your weekly average sleep, not the night before.
This is about discomfort, performance, and becoming the athlete you're meant to be through focus, resilience, and smart data.
