Adapting Training for Environmental Conditions (Heat, Cold, Altitude)
Environmental conditions significantly impact performance and require training adaptations.
Considerations:
  • Heat: Acclimatization, increased hydration, lower intensity, earlier/later workouts.
  • Cold: Layering, proper gear, shorter warm-ups indoors, awareness of ice.
  • Altitude: Acclimatization periods, reduced intensity, increased recovery and hydration.
"Adapt or be defeated by the elements."
Which environmental factor do you find most challenging for athletes?
