@yogasparkstudio & is very acclimated to exercising in the 🔥 …. But how long does it take the rest of us to get acclimated to running in the heat?
To get fully acclimated, it takes about 2 weeks depending on your current state of acclimation. Some adaptations, such as increase in blood plasma volume, can happen after just two longer runs, others like a decrease in core temperature, happen right away.
The good news is that the heat acclimation process INCREASES YOUR EXERCISE CAPACITY… which means it allows you to run faster under normal conditions, MAKING THE EXTRA SWEAT ALL WORTH IT FOR YOUR FALL RACES!
It might feel uncomfortable at first & you’ll need to take certain steps to insure that you’re ready for your first outdoor runs in the heat:
Consider using an electrolyte supplement like
@liquidiv (530mg sodium) or
@drinklmnt (1 full gram) Mix in about 1 liter of water & don’t wait to hydrate. Drink before, during & after exercise to thirst, you’re good to go 👍
Besides electrolytes, you also need energy to power exercise. This energy comes from burning glucose & fatty acids. Longer, harder efforts require more glucose, which can come from diet or internal stores. Your muscles & liver store around 500 grams of glucose as glycogen, but harder workouts & longer runs can deplete these stores, leading to fatigue or lack-luster performance AKA dragging ass, bonking, hitting the wall-call it what you want-it sux💀
Athletes often use supplemental glucose to offset this decline. I ❤️❤️❤️
@maurten_official for this. Literally don’t leave home without it. If you ran last week, I gave you one, or Add To Cart on
