Heat Training - is it the new altitude training? 

Can you list the intensity and duration of a weeks worth of training? I would think that you would still need to do some threshold and Vo2 work along with the endurance rides.

Thank you! It would be very interesting to know more about training on pro level.

Very interesting! This training method raised my respect for what you and other pro cyclists are capable of even more.

I'd definitely give up riding if I had to do that noise regularly. I get the science, it's definitely effective. However, at what cost? Some training is just not worth the suffering.

Wow... This sounds a lot like "no fun!" 😅😅😅 Thanks for your experience, but i think I wouldn't do that. Maybe a sauna in the evening is a bit better for me 😊

How much increase did you have in your normal hemoglobin value in g/dL, after the "Heat training"? How long did it mantained such increase?

By what percentage did your plasma volume and oxygen transport capability increase? (You disclosed increases only in the absolute, not relatively.) Also, although not within the scope of this video, would sauna sessions help, or must the heat be experienced while exercising?

Outstanding video! Used heat training last year to train for a multi-day sportive and no doubt it allowed me to maintain power late each day. Are you using torque efforts and if so would love to see a video which shares your experience. 👋

Is heat training better than cold training?

Hi Annika, great video! Did you start training with 50 min of endurance and then you added some high intensity interval or it was just 5 weeks of endurance?

This is a very high quality video. Thank you for the insights.

Great info and even greater advice

Excellent video! It was interesting to see the difference vs heat adaptation.

Thanks for sharing 👍

The difference between what you've done compared to high altitude protocols, is that they don't actually train at high altitude. They live at high altitude while training at lower ones. The idea being that at high altitude the athletes won't be able to train with as much intensity or volume, meaning that they will lose muscular power. But by training at low altitude they can still use the same intensities while getting the increased blood plasma as a result of living at high altitude.

I think, altitude is probably safer and easier in some aspects.

More creative torture........hmmmmm.....think I'll pass on that. But its fun to see others being tortured. Thanks for the great and candid advice!

I live in Brazil, so if I bike on my mountain bike in 34-36°C does that count as heat training?

Translation: The better you get, the more you have to make training suck

No offense but I think it would be better if you speak in you're native language and have a variety of subtitles in different languages.
