THE HEAT IS ON!

Summer running can make you question everything—your pace is slower, your heart rate is higher, and every mile feels harder. But what if that struggle is actually making you a better runner?

This week on Running with James, we’re breaking down the science of running in the heat and why heat training can become one of your biggest performance advantages.

We’ll talk about:

The benefits and adaptations that come from heat training
How humidity changes your performance
Why your heart rate climbs when temperatures rise
How much performance you can expect to lose in the heat
Heat training vs. altitude training—and how they compare
Hydration, electrolytes, cooling strategies and safety
How to adjust your pace without sacrificing your training
How to use summer training to set yourself up for a stronger fall racing season

Stop fighting the heat. Learn how to train with it.

Because that slow summer mile might be building the fitness you’re going to cash in when the temperature drops.
