i train like 95% indoors year around. big guy, big engine and always super hot while riding indoors. indoors hard stuff is like 2 times 360 watts for 20 minutes. 20 minute pb indoors 373 watts. outdoors in super nice cool conditions without the heat i can hold 400 wattts for 20 minutes and 370 for 60 minutes. its just insane how it works for me
Haha Victor always all in.. the others wrapped up.. he looks like heâs on a mission to the Arctic circle ð
This is interesting, the idea of getting a jump start on the heat acclimation makes sense (of course, you guys wouldn't be doing it). It takes me a solid month of true summer weather until I feel like I'm not soaked in sweat after 10 minutes. It's like your body figures it out and gets better at cooling.
great videos
Wow thanks for sharing this Andy+PH! Such valuable interviews
I recently started training in a pool that is much hotter than Iâm used to. The first few sessions i got so dehydrated I would get a headache, and Iâve never drank so much in my life whilst swimming. But good to know Iâm getting some kind of heat adaptation benefits from it! They also have a sauna which i use after every session.
Going to sauna everyday helps when it comes to adaptation to warm conditions. Sauna has so many different benefits that riders should use it every time after the training.
Very interesting - shows what a science pro training can be
I did this last week, I piled on my winter kit, no fan. It was very hot ð
Like a pro ð
It has some useful and funny effects in daily life though. Cycling in southern spain during the summer with temperature 38 degrees feels okay after a while. At home we have to aligh on AC usage at night because 27-28 felt absolutely normal for me but extremely hot for my wife. I can feel that I perform better when acclimatised to heat but can't objectively measure it as an amateur. Just feel heat resistance/lowered heart rate in normal temperature.
So, if you do this at an altitude of 2000m plus, do you get more adaptations???
It's an interesting thought and we dive into the interaction between altitude & heat training further in our blog which you can find here: www.precisionhydration.com/performance-advice/performance/could-heat-training-enhance-your-performance-in-all-conditions/#:~:text[âĶ]%20might âð
By seing them ride, they donât seem to be at the right core temperature. I have the study protocol that I could share : would have been good to link it in the description..
38.5 skin temperature or core temperature ?
This is core temperature. Measuring core temperature is the most accurate way to monitor thermal stress on the body.
Thanks â@@precisionfandh
Hard Core...temperature.
Heat training blows. It does help significantly, but I hate it so much. Itâs also frustrating because you canât put out your normal power.
Thank God you're not a professional cyclist
Ultra runners have been doing this since the 80âs running in sauna and have clothes dryer vents pointing towards treadmill. Nothing new
Heat.heat.and more heat..absolutely love the burnðð
