Robbie's thankful.

As always, we are in your feeds twice a week, so please keep an eye out for more.

The guys are young and cute and fit.

I like watching it with my dad.

Welcome to 2%.

I'm your host, Michael Easter.

We're getting into the summer.

Things are heating up.

Now, the thing is, is that when it gets hot, most of us, we stay indoors.

We stay in the comfort of temperature control.

We live and exercise at 72 degrees.

Here's the thing, this is very new in the grand scheme of time and space.

Humans evolved outdoors in the heat.

In fact, the heat shaped our biology, our physiology, and we can still use it to improve our health, to improve our mindset, and to get better.

Which brings me to today's episode.

First, we're going to talk to Ashley Paulson.

She's an ultra runner who set the course record at the Badwater 135, which is the hardest, hottest ultra marathon in the world.

So she's going to talk to us about tactics for exercising in the heat, some of her insane records, and why going out and doing hard things in the heat can totally change your mindset and how you see yourself in the world and act.

Then we're going to talk to Bill Gifford.

He is a veteran health journalist.
