Here's How To Do The Pros Secret Training

[@gcn]

Is Heat Training something you would consider adding to your schedule?

[@Blaze16159]

I have been doing it without knowing it lol

[@johanneskleiser7319]

How many heat sessions/ hours do you recommend doing each week for maximum gains?

[@erlendsteren9466]

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.

[@FTA38yearfreeride]

If you are not racing there is no point to it.

[@erlendsteren9466]

@@FTA38yearfreeride Thats true, but hitting the best capasity you can is fun. But for me skininjuries because of friction and wetness is holding me back. Avoiding set backs because of injuries is more efficient getting into to top form. I look forward to some holiday with good training at 900 meters above sea level. That will give me a slight altitude-boost. That said, Chris Horner was able to put in a huge load of training in the heat befor he won Vuelta Espana, so he probably did not have the soreness issues that has been hitting me too often sweating on my indoortrainer.

Lived in Houston for 25 years. The definition of Heat Training!!!

[@TheLoneGranger]

I’ve been training indoors without a fan for years. Always thought it would make riding outside feel easier by comparison.

[@gwhite7011]

Sounds grim

[@FTA38yearfreeride]

@@TheLoneGranger To be honest i think this is the best way to do this , instead of dressing up like man from Mars with a thermometer up your but 🤣

[@mnbv5555cxz]

yes please - more info!

[@kimdecker8901]

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!

[@vancelray]

I heard that extreme cold training will halve your training time. Plus if you take ketones and wax your chain, you can gain even more improvements! Add in baking soda with sour cherry juice, you will be zooming at your next race! Keep the fads coming, GCN!

[@FTA38yearfreeride]

@@vancelray yeah, but ask mommy to pay for the ketones😂

[@TESTA-CC]

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.

[@FTA38yearfreeride]

@@TESTA-CC i prefer enjoying myself while doing sport's

[@philipcooper8297]

Is it me or does Ollie at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="450">7:30</a> look like what would happen if rappers decided to get into cycling.

[@Blaze16159]

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

[@ghowell13]

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.

[@Blaze16159]

@ 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

[@F350powerstroke]

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.

[@paperxray]

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.

[@Burnso332]

UAE and Visma have probably been using this training since 2022😂

[@FTA38yearfreeride]

@@Burnso332 yeah but bend over included !!🤣

[@kestralrider313]

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.

[@grunyan75]

I'd love to learn more.

[@n22pdf]

Ollie looks like he’s stepped into a spray booth 😊 think we’ll all be joining the Borg with all the sensors on us 😅 Pete 🚴🏻👍

[@RyonBeachner]

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.

[@LegSpinna]

But why is Ollie 'Two-Chains' Bridgewood dressed like a painter and decorator?

[@mariannagreenlee]

Ollie, a Breaking Bad tribute 😂. Let him cook

[@konstantinsirotkin2726]

I live in Cyprus and even at the end of October it is difficult to cool down by an open window.😅

[@edlazda3245]

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?

[@charlierennie9192]

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.

[@MTBScotland]

That body suit reminds me of when I used to work in a CAT 3 lab. horrible thing to wear and was bloody hot.

[@gwhite7011]

I'll stick to turbo in the garage in winter, as naked as possible

[@FTA38yearfreeride]

@@gwhite7011 don't scare the neighbors 🫣

[@donlorabauer3289]

Can we wear the suit on outdoor rides : )

[@petermann6379]

#getphysicsright … Temperature - measured in degrees Celsius; heat - measured in joules. So, Temperature Zones, not Heat Zones! Come on, Core!

[@benoitarteau2078]

i will never use this at that price.

[@Choedron]

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 🤣😂
