🔥 Running Hot & Running Fast: Why Heat Training and Speed Work Matter for Ultras

Going solo again and in this double-header episode of the West Coast Ultra Podcast, I dive into two hot (pun intended) topics iwhere i look at two of the most misunderstood—and underused—tools in ultramarathon training: heat adaptation and speed training.


Whether you're lining up for a summer ultra, training through a heatwave, or wondering why short fast intervals can help you go longer, this episode breaks down the science and the strategy behind both.


The aim is to provide some discussion on these topics and hopefully arm you with some ideas and tips to tanslate to your training.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why heat training boosts endurance, plasma volume, and cooling efficiency
  • How to acclimate using saunas, hot runs, or post-run baths
  • Hydration mistakes to avoid in hot weather
  • How speed training improves running economy, fatigue resistance & neuromuscular sharpness
  • Practical workouts: strides, hill sprints, fartleks & tempo runs
  • How to balance speed with ultra endurance
