COURSE BREAKDOWN
Each online course is guided by providing background of knowledge and experience to the following questions.
Optimising LDT training and performance in the heat, such as that experienced at the World Championships in Kona
SO WHAT?
Why is it important to understand the physiological changes that occur when training and racing in the heat and what are the consequences of this on performance? (modules 1 and 2).
How can I successfully adapt to the heat during training and put in place successful strategies to perform at my best come race day (modules 3-8).
