Dr. Cheung returns to the podcast to dive into the science of training and racing in cold weather for cycling and running. He breaks down the key differences between heat and cold adaptation, sharing insights into how the body responds and what that means for your training and performance. We also discuss trending interventions like cold plunges—can they actually improve performance in cold conditions, or are they more hype than help? Tune in to find out what works, what doesn’t, and how to stay strong in the cold!
