01 Apr 2025
Connor Bodin climbed 30 minutes per day for 100 consecutive days to boost his endurance, and it worked.

In this Patron Spotlight, Connor shares exactly what he did during the 100-day experiment, what he learned, what he plans to do next time, Dave MacLeod’s original experiment that inspired him, and more.
