The Fuelled Runner

Running in the heat can be very tricky.

Understanding what our body is doing, the adaptations that can help and the tricks we can utilise will make it alot easier and hopefully this episode will help shed some light on what is happening with your sweat, hydration and rate of perceived exertion!

I cover:

• The science of sweating
• GI issues in the heat
• Rate of perceived exertion
• Tricks we can utilise to help
• Acclimatisation
