How to handle training and racing in heat and humidity

How to handle training and racing in heat and humidity! 


Something a lot of our athletes are talking about now, is the
role heat and humidity plays in training and racing. As great as
it would be to not see any effect, we know we need to adjust in
order to stay on track. 


Our athletes have the ability to click a button in their schedule
to automatically adjust their paces based on the dew point and
temperature. Yet, it can still sometimes take some convincing
that it is alright to be a little slower during this time.


On this week’s Podcast we cover:


How our athletes adjust their training and how you can use
our temperature adjustment calculator

A comparison of how much you need to adjust based on
different weather conditions

The hydration and heat acclimation strategies our athletes
are using

How dehydration affects performance and tips for staying
hydrated

And, is heat and humidity training really the poor man's
altitude?



Master training in the summer, and we can really see the benefits
pay off in the fall. Tune in and start maximizing your
performance in any weather!

on your workout and race days to adjust your goal pace according
to the weather outlook!

If you’re tired of sweaty, smelly and stained seats after your
runs then you have to check out the car seat covers made
specifically for runners from driseats.


DriSeats waterproof seat covers are designed specifically for
runners. Unlike towels, they are 100% waterproof and easily fit
over your entire seat so you don’t have any missed spots.

clean and be ready for your next run.

Perform from the Amino Company


Perform is an amino acid based formulation that I simply add to
my water bottle during my run. It tastes great and is easy on my
stomach.


Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve endurance,
reduce fatigue, and increases muscle protein synthesis so you
recover faster after the run. Check out the research here:
