Should You Actually Be Heat Training?
In this Microcast episode, Coach Zoe and TJ discuss the effectiveness of plyometrics in running, the value of reading race reports, the impact of changing shoes during a race, and the comparison between Tabata and fartlek workouts. They also explore the challenge of the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim run. The conversation covers the topics of fartlek training and heat training for athletes. It discusses the benefits and drawbacks of different training methods and the importance of self-talk and individual adaptation to heat training. The conversation emphasizes the need for a long-term approach to training and the importance of understanding one's own physiology and training goals.
00:00 The Impact of Plyometrics on Running Economy
04:28 The Value of Race Reports in Race Preparation
14:23 Strategic Shoe Changes During a Race
23:33 Conquering the Grand Canyon: Rim to Rim to Rim Challenge

Takeaways
Plyometrics can improve running economy and efficiency, even with reduced training mileage.
Reading race reports may not always be useful for race preparation, as individual experiences vary widely.
Changing shoes during a race should be intentional and based on efficiency gains, with consideration for terrain and foot conditions.
Fartlek workouts are beneficial for improving lipid metabolism, glycogen recovery, power output, and muscle fiber recruitment.
Tabata workouts may not be as effective for runners due to the impact on metabolic efficiency and neuromuscular adaptations. Fartlek training can be beneficial for athletes when used appropriately, providing a mix of zone three work and recovery.
Heat training involves adapting to heat exposure, which can lead to improved performance and thermal tolerance.
Individual physiology and self-talk play a significant role in heat acclimation and performance.
A long-term approach to training, focusing on consistency, recovery, and refueling, is essential for maximizing athletic potential.
Understanding one's own physiology and training goals is crucial when considering different training methods and interventions.
