The more I do it, the more I grab extra layers for non heat training sessions because else I am starting to feel cold
Iāll have to find the article/video but I remember seeing something that one of the Uno-X riders was doing with heat that was interesting. Basically a few days of heat training leading up to a 3 day block of Threshold & VO2 efforts. The thought being do some heat training rides, your body increases plasma volume, which then is beneficial for the Threshold and VO2 workouts. So youāre not doing it to get heat adaptations per se, itās solely to get a quick increase in plasma volume before some intense training sessions.
I would expect lactate to be slightly higher in heat at same power, as the body tends to oxidize more carbs in the heat, but I havenāt tested myself.
Same for me, I am getting much more sensitive to cold now I do heat training.
