I've been doing 3, 20 minute sauna sessions a week immediately after intervals on the trainer. And YES it has helped quite a bit in performance gains👍

SEAL CYCLE 160* traditional sauna. Usually do a few sets of 2 minute planking for a little core stability

Would be interested in hearing a revisit of this. Reading and watching Dr Rhonda Patrick it seems like the protocols described by her would suggest 4+ times per week and higher temp is necessary to get the benefits.

What about steam room? I steam for 20-30min and stretch after every ride and training session and love it. We have a dechlorinator in-line so the steam is stripped of chlorine as well.

The main objective is elevated core temperature. Whether that is done in dry or humid conditions seems to have minimal effect on the adaptations we focused on in this podcast.

However i want to add that a steam room is cooler than a dry sauna since the humid air in a steam room just feels hotter than a dry sauna. So for more heat a dry sauna is recommended.

Do you think sauna can help on recovery days or it can put to much stress on your body?

What are your recommendation with hydration before, during or after sauna sessions, post workout?!

Does is still work if you use "portable" Infra red saunas where your head (and hands) are on the outside? Your core temp would still be high or?

Unfortunately there are no studies that we know of that differentiate between this sort of sauna treatment and a standard sauna. Perhaps future studies will shed some light on this subject.

I was wondering the same thing. First thing. There are plenty of publications showing that heat stress from infrared is just as beneficial as from a traditional finish sauna. It doesn't really matter how you get hot, it`s the elevated core temperature and sweat response that`s important. A portable sauna can be great, i bought this one - www.firzone.co.uk/shop/tourmalinepro-with-ceramic-heater.html There is also a heat fan inside it. IT`S PLENTY HEAT i promise you. Especially if you do it after rides as Chad suggests when your core temperature is already elevated. I struggle to sit in it for more than 20 min even though i am quite heat adapted. Honestly, it`s the best buy i have done in years! Hope it helps. Best wishes Malte

Hey guys!!! Would you think you can simulate some of these benefits by wearing a sauna suit... Or lots of layers during easy training. Tried adding a bunch of layers last night during a 90min easy run and my heart rate was 20-30 beats higher than normal with a ton of added sweat. Thx for the input 🤘

You can, but we recommend separating the heat training from the on-the-bike work whenever possible for the reason you noticed - it makes a workout much, much harder than it is intended to be.
