Overrated OR Underrated: Summer Training Edition

Summer is in full force and we’re back with another overrated or
underrated format to tackle all your summertime training
questions. This time of year can be challenging to train through.
The extra heat and humidity can force you to work harder to
maintain the same paces and increase the need to properly fuel
with fluids and electrolytes. There’s also lots of other risks
that come with training in warmer weather like dehydration and
sunburns.


There’s a lot of information out there on how to cope with the
warmer season but Coach Michael Hammond joins me to tell you what
strategies and gear work to help you get fitter this summer, and
which ones are overhyped. A few of the topics we’ll cover
include:


Do runners need special types of sunscreen?

Is it better to adjust your paces or your rest in warmer
weather?

Is there any benefit to pre-hydrating with extra fluids and
electrolytes?

Is a post-race beer the perfect summertime treat?



The days might be longer this time of year but these answers are
rapid-fire so let’s get into it!
