As an Australian who has just landed in San Antonio Texas for a competition this weekend these tips were so helpful!!! Especially the white hat - already noticed a massive difference in training outdoors
this is great!! another thing i will say is that the body dumps heat from the palms/feet/top of head, so keeping those cool will help prevent you from overheating (or at least slow it down). towel on the back of neck can actually make you heat up faster
The Huberman frozen water bottle trick works great during intervals. Pass a frozen water bottle back forth between your hands when resting to cool the system.
Kyle, you're spot on about the heat in NC. The other element that you have to acclimate to in the spring and fall is the humidity and loss of humidity. I'm not sure if others notice it but in the late fall when the humidity breaks, my lungs feel like they are on fire from sucking in dry air, and in the spring when the humidity returns it feels like I'm drinking the air. Usually it takes about 10-14 training days to acclimate to both conditions, but each one impacts performance in its own way.
100% have experienced this as well. Cold dry air is the WORST thing for my lungs…guaranteed asthma attack. Ideal environment for me: 65 degrees / humid haha
would suggest neck tube/bandada/scarf, immerse in water, put on it works at least for 5-10 mins depending on what you do. use it also riding motorcycle or bike in summer as well, works like AC for your body until it dries out fully, then it saves your neck from burn :P
The problem with public gym saunas is the clueless people opening the door and then taking 10 seconds to decide if they want to get in. Then someone leaves and holds the door open for the next person who isn’t quite ready to get in yet
Timely given our 8am CrossFit WOD today in Dallas and it was 82 degrees and 80% humidity

Much needed episode. Heat index around 105-115 when I’m working out. Open door gym in Texas.

I needed to hear this today. Just got done with a 5K row. It’s only 70 degrees but it’s 96% humidity this morning in Southeast Georgia!
So humid right now!!
@@brannendorman6772 it’s ridiculous. My box has industrial fans but my garage gym does not! 🥵

yes, reflective white works on roofs too.
I freaking adore these science episodes 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I’ve done lots of training in a none ventilated garage in the summer time in Oklahoma. Hard core! Very effective👍

bruh. yes. the awareness on some people is wild.
Hubermann lab podcast has an episode around 1 year ago about using cold to hack your performance
Thank you guys this info is very much appreciated. Awesome content. This is what thinking about all the details looks like. Thank you again.
Kyle Ruth. Are you competing @MFC 2023 this year?
No MFC for me this year. Going to do a couple of other off-season comps and our upcoming Ruck challenge.
Salt. A tablespoon of salt really works for me
