Simon Ward, Be Battle Ready - The podcast for strength, resilience, and longevity

Mastering Heat Training with Dr. Lindsey Hunt


Listen Later

At the time of recording this episode, I was in sunny Barbados—where January temperatures soar above 30°C. A stark contrast to the freezing weather I left behind in the UK! While the warm climate is great for a holiday, it presents unique challenges for training.

That brings us to today’s topic: heat training. I’m joined by Dr. Lindsey Hunt, Senior Sports Scientist at Precision Fuel & Hydration, and a leading expert in this field.

In this episode, we cover:

🔥 The benefits of heat training
🔥 The difference between acclimation and acclimatization
🔥 Heat training protocols used in PF&H’s state-of-the-art lab
🔥 DIY heat training methods for those without lab access
🔥 Passive heat strategies, like hot baths and saunas
🔥 Whether heat training can be a viable alternative to altitude training

If you're prepping for Marathon des Sables, racing in hot conditions, or simply gearing up for a training block in the heat, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
