Welcome to the podcast is dedicated to making you a faster cyclist the ask a cycling coach podcast presented by a trainer road

I'm coach Jonathan Lee here with our head coach Chad Timmerman

All right everybody and our CEO and April I almost said head coach

You're not our head coach. That's Chad our CEO Nate Pearson. Hello, and we are going to answer

Hopefully some of your cycling questions today

Maybe you haven't submitted them directly to us for this. We're gonna do a deep dive on a topic that a hot topic

There we say yeah

On a topic that's been particularly applicable to us as of late if you listen to the last episode in the Carson City off-road

Recap that we did you'll know that all three of us suffered in the heat basically wilted. Yeah, it was so bad

Really hot and I had kind of a knee-jerk reaction and I went I thought I'm gonna train in the shower all the time

Right, so I did a workout in the shower and then we thought let's actually do some research behind this

So got some studies that we're going to be referencing here and trying to stick as close as we can to the facts with this

But also our goal with this is not only to give you that knowledge but really show how this can help you get faster

Not just do well in heat

Yeah, because that what John just said about training the shower of turning the shower on putting your trainer in the bathroom and

Working out for some period of time. That's like the conventional wisdom

But hopefully what you're gonna out this is how hard should I be working out when should I do how long the effects last

Well kind of power benefit should I get should I get it in hot and cold?

So I've also done it once since then so we have some anecdotal experience

But there's also some studies we're gonna reference about how like very specific and this has been well-documented and reproduced of

Doing doing X gives you a Y boost in performance, which is amazing. I've even seen on one

Somebody writing about it. It's it's almost similar to doping like of how much a benefit you can get
