For those of us that live in the Northeast and other parts of the country that are going through serious heat and hig humidity keep these tips in mind…
- Bring plenty of extra fluid on your rides and runs
- Supplement your hydration with an electrolyte drink (think about extra salt content)
- Back off the intensity if the heat is too oppressive
- Try to go out early in the morning or later in the evening
- Enjoy swimming outdoors:)
We’ll be in Lake Placid this weekend cheering on the many athletes at IM USA.
Train smart…
