If you don’t like hair cut stories, skip to 10 minute mark. After that it’s all about how to handle the heat, humidity and dew point. How you should train in it, when you should not train in it. We look at how pace, RPE, and recovery are effected by heat and especially Dew Point. We discuss what is too hard in heat and how best to prepare for training in heat and hot races.
