  I should probably start bookmarking this stuff. To be clear, the connection to exercise resistance/intolerance is my own speculation. Most of the actual research so far is focused on the relationship between abnormal interoception and aspects of mental illness. A lot of this is also pretty preliminary; as far as I can tell, there's not yet much consensus on even a rigorous definition of which sensory functions qualify as "interoceptive", let alone validation of methods to measure it. That being said, interesting articles include: Alexithymia, not autism, is associated with impaired interoception [1] “Lacking warmth”: Alexithymia trait is related to warm-specific thermal somatosensory processing [2] Alexithymia: a general deficit of interoception [3] Alexithymia Is Associated With a Multidomain, Multidimensional Failure of Interoception: Evidence From Novel Tests [4] [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4962768/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4962768/ [2] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5595273/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5595273/ [3] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5098957/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5098957/ [4] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5824617/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5824617/
