I'd share a story but Suffice to say that Heat training really works well...over weeks or even months. (Given race temp and Humidity)....Thinking of the song-going to make you sweat! Work it!
My summer training blocks for a fall marathon always worry me because I cant achieve goal speeds in the heat and humidity, but somehow it always works out once the temps drop! Thank you for all the great info!
Great summary! I live in Conifer at 9k feet. Mostly run between 8k and 10k feet in my neighborhood. I have to go by feel/perceived effort and throw pace and HR out the window, especially for speed work. For those workouts I like to drive to Littleton where it's 5-6k ft. Huge difference! Also raced a 1/2M recently at 4k ft, and the perceived effort and pace really lined right up, and overall fast pace didn't feel as tough.
Really interesting Sandi, thanks for making this :). Not too much altitude or heat here in England but would love to visit some of these places. When I was at my fittest 4 years ago, I hadn’t felt as happy in such a long time and looking forward to working to get back there
Great video and beautiful views of the mountains. Im training for my first ultra and Its going to be hot. I have been running with layers on my easy days. Hope it will pay off. Might need to find a sauna
I live in Houston... it is heating training 9/10 months out of the year, ha! I definitely notice that I am far less fatigued when the heat comes down... but WHY did you have to go and mention sleep?! The one thing I def struggle to get enough of. I have a corporate finance job, so I am often working late, training late, eating late, and sleeping the bare minimum. That has been the one benefit about WFH, getting that extra hour to sleep!
I don't have any altitude near me but thought I understood the basic idea of it. It never occurred to me though, that it might be better to recover low, or do your hard workouts low. Thanks for enlightening. As for heat training, I never realised simple sauna exposures might have an effect. I did always used to push myself to run in the hot sun sometimes, and felt better trained for it.
Wow excellent video, a lot of helpful information there, & some amazing scenery, totally didn’t know that it takes longer to recover from high altitude training, 😀👍🍀🌳✅🌳🌲✌️
Yeh as I'm sure others have already mentioned, humidity is another very formidable factor in your training. For example, I ran on Friday and it was about 80 degrees here and I ran just spiffy because the humidity was around 40%. Today it was about 82 degrees but was somewhere in the neighborhood of 65% humidity and wow what a difference. Felt like a slug. Anyway, the point is that both heat and humidity should be factored into your training.
Does heat training also include doing training runs when it's hot out? I don't have access to a sauna, but I could do my runs later in the day when it's around 80F (currently), if it'll help me for an upcoming 50K that's at 8K feet (I'm at sea level).
Heat training make my heart rate too low. Training hard for months in summer(90f to120f) works very well for me. 30 Heart rate in winter.i'm.not even professional runner!
I, a Londoner living in Arizona, find Sandi difficult to follow, but then, when I switched auto captions on, they made no mistakes, so I have concluded that her speech is actually very clear, simply her regional accent difficult for outsiders.
@@garthly Thanks, Garth. I definitely have a midwestern accent! Admittedly, I purposely talked fast in this video to try and keep it short. Here's the rough transcription: higherrunning.com/blog/
@@RunningWildSandi Growing up in Utah, I have no difficulty understanding you. I enjoyed your presentation. It just seemed rushed. With Sage, you have a good example to follow. 😊
@@sahacking Well, there may be something to it. On the other hand, Sandi keeps her videos enthusiastic and better prepared. As opposed to Sage. He seems to be just blabbering around the topic as of late.
nothing is more important than being healthy. let me repeat that: nothing is more important than being healthy. So many fit but heavily unhealthy people out there. I'd take health over fitness any given day without a second thought.
Yes, of course, health is number one. That's why I talk about recovery so much (which includes healthy eating). I'm coming from the perspective that people need to prioritize good training/fitness over heat and altitude training. (This is keeping in mind that someone can be healthy and fit but suffer during a hot race if they didn't prepare at all for the warm temps.)
I used heat training to prepare for running in Colorado. Heat training works!
This video is good news for me because I'm getting ready to move to a place that's hot and near sea level.
I really enjoyed this video. Took lots of notes. Thank you for making it!
Great info! Appreciate your attentiveness to the current scientific trends.

I live in the southeast with hot and muggy summers. Love training outdoors under the summer sun. Sunscreen, hydration, and electrolytes are a must.
Thank you for this information. Learned so much.
lookie here coach, that was some good advice, damn good.

Great video. I'm bookmarking it for future reference.

What do you use for editing videos?
Any particular software or app?
Would love to know!
Keep up the lovely content🙂!!
Both!
Love your Vlogs Coach and TiPS 💜 xx 🚒Jesse

Rollerblades?
Moral of the story, everyone is different and responds to either form of training differently.
⭐ Coach, running will help me lose 50 pounds?

what about running in heat rather than a sauna
Fifth!
Good information. One friendly suggestion: slow down and speak more clearly. 😊

@@Hidegety1 I'm not criticizing either. Just a suggestion. They're both good and knowledgeable.
