How to maximise your triathlon performance in the heat with Physiologist Avish Sharma

How to maximise your triathlon performance in the heat with Physiologist Avish Sharma

Have you got a hot race coming up? Here’s some practical heat adaptation advice that actually works.

Joining me on this episode is Physiologist Avish Sharma. He was the lead Physiologist for Triathlon Australia in the preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics which always set to be a hot environment.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Why would you want to heat adapt yourself?
  • Who is it beneficial for?
  • Are there any negative implications of heat adaptation?
  • How do you heat adapt yourself?
  • How long do the performance gains of heat acclimation last for?
  • Practical suggestions if you have a hot race coming up like Cairns or Kona
  • What to do if you live in a cooler environment but have to travel to a hot race?
  • Some suggestions for pre-cooling strategies you can implement to keep your core temperature down

Avish has so many practical, evidence-based ideas here to help you with racing and training in the heat.
