    I live in Phoenix and I ride my bike to and from work every day, even on days in the summer when they are issuing heat warnings. My daily ride to and from work altogether is about 16 miles, but on the weekends, I'll do even more. You just have to make sure that you are carrying lots of water and don't have anything heavy in your stomach.

      Also 16 miles is short enough that the body won't be too hot too long. It's a great length for a hot ride

    I used to race MX, and that was incredibly brutal in the summer. With bicycle racing, naturally after i stopped, i figured out a great trick: soak your jersey in ice water before your ride. Yes, it will feel too cold at first, and modern jerseys dry out quickly, but it really helps to keep your core temp down. The other thing to try in the middle of a hot ride is to stop and rinse your jersey under cold water. It helps a lot.

    Great video! I happen to HATE riding in heat. I live in SoCal and hit it first thing in the morning -- preferably a 7am departure. But I also spend 6 months west of Austin, Texas, and in late spring, there is only so much you can do to escape the heat. My problem riding in Texas in late spring is that my rides are far away from any gas stations on rural roads. So planning my hydration and caloric intake is absolutely critical. A spare water bottle, and some gels (or Pop Tarts -- thanks Chris) help me navigate those longer rides in the back country.

      ​@thart6103 I have felt more OK in heat than other people over 20 years of riding. I currently live in a very hot/humid area and have been acclimated to the heat quite well. Then.... ONE DAY, I rode too hot for too long and went over some limit which I couldn't even feel / recognize that day.
      Then I was sick for 5 days.
      The Next long and hot ride (not even all that long), i got sick again.
      Now I feel better, but i am scared of riding when it's really hot. Also, I feel like I am also physically more uncomfortable riding in heat. I hope it's not permanent, but it seems like it could be.
      It is definitely possible to acclimate, and to do a lot in heat. Problem is, there is also a limit to what you can withstand , and it is very difficult to distinguish when you are crossing that limit.

    I love to ride in the heat. I would ride in 100+ in San Jose as much as I could. My wife would ask every time, "What! It's too hot out there!". However, after serveral months of excessive travel for work, my fitness would drop of a lot. I would take it really slow (I pretty much had to) and drink tons of water along the way. Totally agree Chris; heat training works for me.

    In training in heat, you need to adjust intensity too, which might be good for limiting intense workouts. Too much intensity during a volume block might be detrimental…

  • @leomaduro8661
    @leomaduro8661 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    As a person who spent most of his adult life in tropical heat, and a minor part in cold climates, I completely agree with you. One suggestion though, depending on the level of fitness, people should start with shorter sessions of heat training; there is no point in starting with a full hour sessions in those severe temperatures. The same goes for riders who have been training in mild climates, including high altitude training, they have to gradually expand the time training in extreme heat. But all those considerations should be included in an adequate training schedule.

  • @jerryscott9598
    @jerryscott9598 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Great info Chris, and I completely agree. I was a hiking / mt. guide in the Palm Springs area for 30 yrs., and regularly trained on my road bike in this type of weather, (at times in 110), but I had the advantage of very dry climate, (30% or less, at times much less), and usually windy. I've seen many of my past clients who were fit, but not heat adapted, who suffered if they didn't reduce their intensity.
    Hiking, (always w elevation gains), was tougher with less air moving over your body. Now living in Orange county, ca., where it rarely climbs over 100, I still always carry a camelbak pack which allows me to stay hydrated for hrs. I got to the point where the heat rarely bothered me, but one must be keen to closely monitor yourself.

  • @rayF4rio
    @rayF4rio 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Agree. After moving to the Philippines in 2017, I ride, train and race (sometimes) in the heat. In the dry season here (Dec-May) it is normal to see temps of over 90 by 9am and over 100 by 10am with the sun straight up in the sky (no shade). Luckily, those temps usually mean almost zero wind here. After 11 am my Garmin or Wahoo will register temps over 110 degrees on hot days. I've learned to get ahead on hydration and to plan long rides to finish by noon. Typical weight loss is 5 lbs on a 4 hr ride (175lb rider) with intake of 3-4 liters. On occasions where I miscalculated, I've seen speed and power drop off to almost nothing in the final hour of a 7 hour ride.
    Heat training helps acclimatize, and helps in performance if you head back to cooler temps when looking to realize those performance gains. But always training and racing in the heat month after month can really zap your body and lead to exhaustion quickly. Still, I would pick hot over cold any day. If I could choose the perfect temps to ride in year round it would 60-65 degrees, low humidity and no wind - but that place exists in my cycling dreams.

  • @lennyharp
    @lennyharp 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I live in the Phoenix Valley and regularly ride in the heat or did when I was 30-40 years younger. One year it got over 120 degrees and I rode 5 miles to work in the morning and at noon I went for a casual around the block with very high temps, close to or over 120 as the high for the day was 121 or so. One other time at 115 degrees I commuted 45 miles . I was about 30-35 and a very fit commuter. You have to build up slowly to long distance and drink at least 3 water bottles and hour.

    I worked on this this summer in and I'm in LA area. I just 60-90 min rides endurance rides were perfect for this. Got a lot easier after a couple weeks and found myself extending it out to 2-2.5 hrs some days at around 100 or so degrees. Felt great. I got a sinus infection for 5 or 6 weeks in August and didn't ride much especially outdoors. Felt way hotter coming back. One key point I've found is even being heat acclimated threshold and VO2 efforts are better off done indoors. It definitely effects the quality of the workout significantly. I suspect with Conor being in a cooler climate probably is less heat acclimated for that reason. Hence a bigger drop in power.

    I live in the Midwest where a typical summer day is 98 degrees with 99 percent humidity. This is the best time of year in the training regiment to be "insulation challenged". I also have specific light riding clothes. But most of all I tell people that the key to surviving in the heat, whether you are working on your car, mowing the grass, or out on a century bike ride is staying AHEAD of your hydration and using a good sunscreen to not get sunburned. Once you get sunburned your skin exponentially loses its ability to dissipate heat and you are literally toast.

    The key for my rides for multiple hours in the extreme summer heat. Routes that have township parks/ sports fields every ~15miles so I can refill my bottles. Allowing me to drink multiple bottles an hour and it gives me a safety spot to stop if I were to overheat.
    Now if my fitness is bad I will not ride multiple hours in extreme heat. A short ride fine but not long if my fitness isn't good.

    Thank you Chris for reminding everyone that the best option is (for most people) to go out and ride their bikes. It is funny (or painful) to see all these pals trying to emulate what the pro are doing to reach absolute top fitness while they don't even train 10 hours a week. It's one thing for a serious amateur training 20h or more a week to start thinking about marginal gains like natural ways to increase epo production, hemoglobin mass and other. But for the other 90% of the amateur riders, just work on getting the basis right and ride your bike outside. GCN and alike clearly does not help in this though...

    Its very important for people to distinguish long rides and heat acclimation verses current heat training methods (short rides with an induced fever, very low intensity)
    It is definitely possible to acclimate to heat, and to do a lot in heat. Problem is, there is also a limit to what you can withstand , and it is very difficult to distinguish when you are crossing that limit.
    I crossed that limit doing a long ride on a hot day, and it messed me up

    That GCN bit was very interesting- particularly the increase in hemoglobin as the result of heat training. My rule is never run out of water. In hot weather, I'll drain about a liter an hour so I carry two large bike bottles and stop for water if i run out. Also, we now know, thanks to ultra endurance athletes, that so-called "junk miles" in zone 2 are what actually does the most benefit for endurance.

    I agree with 90% of the butterfly effect but strongly disagree on this one. Heat training can cause dehydration which can cause blood thickening which can cause venereal or arterial blood clots which can cause death or at best being laid up in the hospital for weeks. I did a couple of weeks of inadvertent heat training in Vietnam and after the last day-a race- at 37 degrees / 99% humidity, I totally lost so much irreplaceable fluid that I barely made it home. Drank a ton of water n took a nap and when I woke up my left leg no longer functioned for anything better than walking. Turns out I had a 10cm long arterial clot in my leg and it required 7 hours of painful surgery and near death to remove it. It’s not like I wasn’t constantly drinking water the whole time I was riding there but the body just can’t replace that much water even between rides. I do believe some people (Vietnamese ppl for example) are better able to deal with it than others. But for me I’d much rather deal with snow n ice than another month in a chinese hospital so I’ll never consciously heat train and when I do need to go to VN I’m careful not to ride outside each day.

      It may be hard to find heat, but it's impossible to find altitude in Denmark

    EXTREME DANGER to exercise in heat above 95 degrees and high humidity. I am a certified outdoor wilderness paramedic. Skin temperature is 95 F. In high humidity zero evaporation. This means you have NO WAY to cool down. Exercising in these conditions causes heat stroke and death. If you become irritable confused and or uncoordinated stop immediately jump into cold water and or get help asap. Death is imminent. Chris you are not qualified to discuss this topic. You are giving advice that causes death. If you exercised in these temps over 100 and very low humidity and stayed hydrated it was still extremely dangerous

      Right. Crazy good. MX clothing is so hot because the fabric has to stand up to crashing and bushes. Not to mention all the protective gear under and over your clothes. 🥵🔥

      I lived in the Sacramento Valley in the late '80s. I learned to sweat a lot sooner and heavier on hot days. 85 to 95 was just getting warm, 100+ was more of problem. One bottle of water inside and one bottle outside every 10 miles. When you get too dry your ability to do anything goes away.

      @@stevereimer5254 I’m saying to enjoy it you can’t be mentally healthy. That’s what Horner said unless I misheard him. I live in San Diego and the rare days when it gets to 90-100 are beyond awful to ride. The human body is not designed to function 100% in extreme heat. Especially during physical exercise.

    • @ChrisHornerCycling
      @ChrisHornerCycling  5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Extreme heat has a different effect on everyone. Body size, health, and of course overall fitness will make the heat harder to deal with. I’m not a fan of extreme heat any more since all of those situations have changed drastically for me and not in a positive way but there was time when I loved it because the heat never bothered me like it did most. 👊🔥🥵

      I did four or five good years training in Sac. We (Trent Klasna and I) would leave early in the morning so that the first hour or two it was not crazy hot (still was 90-95;) and then we would finish in that 105-107 degrees. Sac has some hot summer days no doubt. 👊🔥🤪
