OVERVIEWHeat acclimation is a big topic this summer, especially because heat training has been shown to also improve oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood - similar to altitude training! But, heat training can be tricky, especially for Time-Crunched Cyclists. What if you can't train in the hottest part of the day because of work? What if you spend your workday in a cold, air conditioned office building? Should you sit passively in a sauna or hot bath, or exercise with extra layers and no fans? For how long, at what temperatures, etc.? Coach Adam Pulford provides actionable, pragmatic heat training guidance for amateur and everyday cyclists so you can perform better in the heat and reduce your risks for heat illness.TOPICS COVEREDWhy should you get heat adaptedHow long does heat adaptation take?Native heat vs. Added HeatTraining Schedule for Native Heat TrainingAir conditioning and "global heat stress"Training Schedule for Added Heat TrainingHow do you know you’re heat adapted?LINKS/RESOURCESHeat Adaptation for Females: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Physiological Adaptations and Exercise Performance in the Heat - PMCGoing one step further with altitude training or heat training Heat training 101: A comprehensive guide for athletesHow much do you sweat? - Asker’s Sweat Rate CalculatorHeat training guide for cyclists | EF Pro Cycling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6422510/ASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.
