About this episode
Summer just hit like a sledgehammer and it's time to train smart. Today we look at how heat impacts how you train, your pace, and your attitude. We discuss smart ways to keep building speed without getting laid up with injuries or experiencing deep fatigue. Should you spend time in the sauna or ice? What kind of adjustments do you make when doing a hot race? Topics: Transitioning to the Heat How to keep no expectations You're gonna be slower now Zone 2 feels like zone 3? Chasing Pace Why Dew Point Can Crush Your Soul How heat affects pace heat acclimation better than altitude? Saunas? How often? The best time for saunas Cold water and ice? Yard work as training?
