EP. 125 | Heat Training For Endurance Performance; Unlock your best running potential through heat training modalities with practical advice from Sport Scientist and Endurance Coach, Andy Brodziak.
In this episode of Making A Runner, Host Nic sits down with an old friend of the podcast, Coach Andy Brodziak , to explore one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—tools in endurance training: heat adaptation.
From mimicking altitude benefits to improving performance in both hot and cooler conditions, Andy breaks down the science and practical application of heat training for runners and endurance athletes. The conversation dives into how the body adapts to heat, including increases in blood plasma volume, improved thermoregulation, and more efficient sweating.
Together, they unpack:
Why heat training can be a game-changer for endurance performance
The key physiological adaptations that take place
How to implement both active and passive heat protocols
The importance of hydration and managing heat stress
Why individual responses to heat vary—and how to adjust accordingly
How to maintain heat adaptations over time
Whether you're preparing for a hot race or simply looking to gain a performance edge, this episode offers practical, science-backed strategies you can start applying immediately. Below are some links that Andy talks about in the conversation.
