For as there have been runners, there have been people who cannot stand running in the heat. And for good reason: in this episode we explore why running in the heat/humidity is sooo much harder. BUT what's less rarely talked about is the upside to running in heat, so in this episode we also unpack the physiological adaptations you get from running in the heat, which (SPOILERRRR) are kind of wild. We then get stuck into tips n tricks for thriving in your summer runs + warning signs that things are heating up a little too much.We then do some race previews and get pumpeddd for ON:TRACK:NIGHTS on the 14th of December (join us!!), and finish with The Run Down segment covering some bloody exciting news in Australian running.The legends at Pillar Performance have generously setup a discount code for the Cheeky community, use CHEEKY15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.
