Train hot!<\/strong>
This is probably one of the most important changes that you should make as soon as possible. During the winter, you\u2019ve probably been training indoors in a climate controlled environment with a fan helping to keep you cool. Now that the warmth is on its way, you will soon be shoved outdoors riding under the hot sun and hot pavement beneath your tires. Your body will have a difficult time acclimating to the temperature change and regulating your bodily functions (perspiration, heart rate, hydration).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hyperthermia, heat stress and heat exhaustion are the most prevalent complications that cyclists endure during the early warm months. Not only do these conditions debilitate the performance of the cyclist, they can also be life threatening.<\/div>\n
We can improve our ability to ride in the heat by simply, riding in the heat. So, turn off the fan, turn off the air conditioner and ride hard. Make your environment emulate the environment you will be riding in by turning up the heat and making your body sweat. You\u2019ll use twice the normal water and feel twice as exhausted. It\u2019s uncomfortable, messy and disorienting, but, it will significantly help you to acclimate to hot \u00a0ambient temperatures.\n

Train Harder!<\/strong>
You don\u2019t have much time left before you will be forced to go into the red\u00a0 and stay on a wheel or crest a summit or both. Your training right now must acclimate you to quick accelerations and red zone efforts. Interval training is highly recommended right now. \u00a0Get used to 95% max efforts with short recoveries and the same efforts again.\u00a0 This is probably the most difficult solo training you will have to endure. It is really tough to motivate your body to punish itself this heinously without having external encouragements like the humility of getting dropped or walking up the last few 100 feet of a steep hill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
