WHOOP

Late-night workouts might feel productive, but WHOOP data tells a different story 👀📉WHOOP research shows timing (and intensity) matter more than you think.

This week on the WHOOP Podcast, we dive into the physiology and psychology that drive elite athletic output 🏋️♂️ From ultra-marathons to the HYROX World Championships, elite hybrid athlete and trainer @jakedearden_ joins WHOOP Director of Sports Marketing, Jeremy Powers, to unpack what it really takes to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. Jeremy and Jake dive into the full picture of elite performance, from injury comebacks and mental resilience to VO2 Max, sleep, recovery, and the science of fueling.

Americans can expect to spend 15% of their lives suffering from disease, and by age 65, over 85% of individuals will live with at least one chronic condition. Decades of research have established clear relationships between lifestyle behaviors and physiological metrics with important health outcomes like morbidity and mortality. Healthspan, a feature we introduced with the launch of 5.0 and MG, interprets key WHOOP metrics in the context of this research, giving members an unprecedented view of how their daily behaviors impact their long-term health. Two main metrics are provided within Healthspan: WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging. WHOOP Age is a measure of your physiological age, which can be younger or older than your actual, chronological age. This metric is harder to move and updates more gradually over time, offering a long-term view of your physiological health. Pace of Aging measures how quickly your WHOOP Age is changing. This is a dynamic store, reflecting the immediate impact of your lifestyle choices.  We built Healthspan in partnership with the Buck Institute, a global leader in aging research. As CEO @ Eric Verdin puts it, “[With Healthspan,] WHOOP gives you real-time feedback on where your daily habits are helping — or hindering — your long-term well-being. In a world full of wellness noise and one-size-fits-all advice, WHOOP Healthspan offers clarity: a personalized, data driven path to living better, longer.”  Healthspan is now on 4.0 — available to all members on WHOOP Peak and WHOOP Life.

Everyone's talking about what AI could do. Fewer are showing what AI actually did: how it performed in real-world teams, what it unlocked, and where it fell short. We just ran an AI Hackathon at WHOOP. No hand-waving about the “future of work.” We built in the present. Real builders. Real constraints. Real outcomes. The best part? We did it all in 48 hours and walked away with more insight than any whitepaper or trend report could offer. 💡 In this post, I break down the HOW: how we set the stage, structured the hackathon, and measured what mattered. If you’re tired of fluffy AI takes and want a peek at what actually works, WHOOP will show you how we made it real. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dGCFTHtX 🎥 https://lnkd.in/dpKFZtP9 Liv Benger, Ryan Durkin, Elliot Franford, Alexi Coffey, Rob Case, Tori Danby, Stephanie Cavanaugh #AI #Hackathon #HumanPerformance #EngineeringLeadership #BuildDontHype
