Absolutely not, because the sweat is a huge problem , causing wounded skin inside my bibs. Those wounds it what holds me back so I cant ride maximum miles day after day.
I've Genuinely Always Used a Bin Bag, I've sworn by this method to increase my Vo2 max and overall fitness since i was 16years old and studied sports science. You will come back absolutely drenched in sweat and the bag sticks to your body which actually makes it more difficult for your lungs to take in maximum capacity of oxygen. It really is the best way to increase your performance for little to no money spent. X 1 bin bag is all you need.
Would like to know more. Would be cool to do a series similar to Dan's series and can do deep on a subtopic per video. Perfect for Ollie’s science background. On a side note - wasn’t planning to watch the video since it had an ad tag and the title is ambiguous. Turned out to be informative.
Agreed. I'd welcome a series on the different types of heat sessions, getting to zone-three heat, how to program the training into your current plan et al!
I purchased the Core Sensor a couple of weeks ago after Connors video. So far, I think that it is a great benefit. Not fully understanding all the numbers and graphs. Having a few issues with the app. Sometimes it connects immediately, and other times it will not connect. Have contacted Core about issue. So, yes please, do more in-depth about heat training and the benefits with Core. A couple of medical questions. 1) Your body raises its temperature when you get a cold or flu. It does this to fight the infection. Does heat training aid the body in fighting infections and diseases? 2) Connor said that in heat training the blood vessels expands, so can this have any effect on blocked attires and problems with coronary issues? Great information and can't wait for more to come. Thanks.
I already do heat training because I live in South Georgia (USA) so it comes naturally. Also it’s ironic that a video like this comes out the day I start doing harder workouts on the bike lol
I live in Raleigh, NC. Between riding outdoors year round anyway, summers are heat training in the south. As a born and bread southerner, I freely admit that southern Georgia is a bit warmer than my area. Although NC's sandhills could possibly give you a run for your money. Fayetteville is only an hour and a half south/ southeast of me, and yet is regularly 8 degrees warmer, and 10-15% more humid.
@ yeah, I’m doing winter training as well, I don’t exactly know that it would be safe but I want to be the best in my area and possibly join a college team next season
I had picked up on the benefits of training in the heat in the 90s but I assumed that I was only building tolerance (mostly mental), not actually improving FTP; science and GCN videos seems to show both are possible. I could notice that from living and training in a very hot city in California gave me an edge on races when it was hot, appearing to suffer less than others. I do caution riders doing long solo rides in the heat; I did once got heat stroke, temporarily forgot phone number, address, etc..,on a solo century in 41-43C. Stupid choice, but we often think we're invincible in our 20s.
Can’t wait for someone on reddit to complain about the price and insist a meat thermometer and saddle with a pressure relief channel is just as good and the cycling industry is just ripping you off.
Interesting. Question: if I just put on an extra couple of layers for an outdoor ride, or switch off the fans and wear a warmer jersey indoors, would I get at least some of the benefit without having to bother with sensor and zones?
Yes probably. This video is sponsored by core so ofc they’re going to say you need the sensor. Just wear more layers with no fans while riding indoors. Make sure you’re hydrating and not getting dangerously hot ofc. You’ll get at least some of the benefits that way without paying £230.
So basically just an add for Core - just like with the Whoop, which turned out to be average and not exactly good. I hate heat. There is a temperature sensor in my Garmin Forerunner 965. It can display just fine to check if body temperature is rising. And I can feel when my core body temperature rises. I am a woman, who have gone through menopause 🤣😂
