eat Acclimation between now and the race will absolutely help. There are studies that have shown it too. Obviously you don’t want to ruin your hard workouts and overdo the stress, but take every chance you can to get some heat between now and the race IMO. I went all in this year and am adding in Sauna time and some easy indoor rides wearing all sorts of clothing and no fans…

There is a whole thread going on about it and the Core sensor team (yes they want to sell you a thing) has a 5 week acclimation program. You might get part of the way there, but to BCM’s point it’s worth it to get at least some heat training in even if race day is cool as it has been shown to have a positive effect on blood plasma levels.

Heat Acclimatization Timing

This is actually a lot easier plan than what I recalled. One only needs to put the painter suit on for part of the workout until you hit week 3. Easy enough to do in TR by either adding some extra time in Z2 via the workout editor, or selecting a short z2 workout and doing it directly after your regular workout. This is very much setup for one to peak somewhere after the 5 week mark. Reading it myself I don’t think it’s sustainable for more than 8-10 weeks as it’s a LOT of work. Definitely REA…
