How To Heat Prep for Kona or a Hot Race | What I've Learned in Previous Years of Heat Adaptation

Hey!
I've now heat prepped in a variety of different ways from labs to hot weather camps. Here's what I've learned over the years from adapting to the heat.

Heat prep is done where you will race is the best advise I have received.

[@Reastle1]

Yes best case is probably to do that, however for majority of people that is impossible to go out early enough to get effective heat training

Great stuff Ruth! Very interesting!

[@chrisstrider]

Looking forward to seeing you racing in Kona😊

@Ruth - I know being a Pro and being an Age Grouper is very different, but when you won KONA as an Age Grouper, did you do any heat prep then?

[@Reastle1]

Yes, I have always done heat prep for Kona, is essential in my view especially if you are coming over from Europe. That was part of the reason for doing the video to give some thoughts on how to heat prep for a race like Kona
