From structured heat training protocols to the role of sweat rate and core temperature, this episode is filled with golden nuggets that could make or break your race day. If you’ve ever wondered how to train smart for sweltering conditions or how to adapt your approach when the mercury rises, this is one episode you won’t want to miss. Also in this episode.
