If resources are an issue simply use a fan or as Jesse said just ride around during your warm-up. Ice vests and other conductive cooling methods have limited utility and are resource-limited. A good quality fan you can take around in the team van would be the way to go in your circumstances.

What’s GG stand for?

@@lfcamerican4366 normally stands for good game, but doesn't make sense how he's using it

@@jdawg3465 I know that, that’s why I’m asking him…..

A fan could be had at Walmart for $10. I was a collegiate cycling coach and I've seen NICA teams with a better setup. Sorry for your situation.

Pretty sure jesse did a heat acclimation protocol himself before nationals so yeah he must thinks it works. The zone 2 ride in the heat just has the additional stimulus of increasing plasma volume I guess? And maybe also higher load on the heart because heart rate is higher. And more stress for your body in general so it lets you do less of your normal work/training to a degree which is why you wouldnt do this stuff all the time but only before an important event. Also because the benefits taper off rather quickly when you stop doing the heat training completely. Btw not having the fan on on a zone 2 ride might not be enough of a heat stimulus. Maybe try some thermal baselayer in addition or being in a hot room. If your heart rate is elevated 20-30ish beats over where it usually is during a zone 2 ride half an hour or an hour in then you are doing it right. My sort of heat protocol would be when i had an interval day on the trainer as soon as I finished the last interval I would switch off the fan and put on a long sleeve jersey and maybe even a warm baselayer and then ride for an hour at zone 2. Worked pretty well.

I chatted about this is one of the first videos I uploaded on YT: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qL6Imcibs8rKXWg.html There's benefit to active heat sessions. But it needs to be hotter than just riding on Zwift without a fan and done in a block of 2-3 weeks with multiple exposures per week to get the benefits, not just randomly riding on Zwift without a fan once or twice a week. It can increase hemoglobin mass but unlikely to match what you can get from living at altitude

At-home cycling indoors without a fan simply hasn't been studied properly to answer this question. Most of the research on heat acclimation protocols is in laboratories with high ambient temperatures and relative humidities as we know. The main requirements for heat acclimation/adaptation are maintaining a core body temperature of at least 38.5 degrees (higher is not necessarily better as it can delay adaptation and recovery from the heat stimulus) for 60-90 minutes and maintaining a high sweat rate on at least 5 consecutive days (the longer the better to an extent - 5 days/week up to 4 weeks has shown awesome results for example). This could be done without a fan indoors but it would be super uncomfortable and because we don't have the core body temperature data on this sort of thing safety would be a concern to recommend people do something like that at home without supervision.

Thanks. Nope, no need to carb load for a 20 min effort

hip impingment

It's not necessarily aero vs climbing, it's climbing versus flat (+ aero position). There's a bit of research out there showing an increase in power capabilities on inclines/hills versus the flat, mainly due to biomechanical and muscle recruitment factors. Wahoo Sports Science will publish some of this research soon I believe.

GG existed long before Gen Z started gaming...

Yes of course it has been around longer than gen Z. But Gen Z has picked up the term and now uses it outside the original context of gaming

@@zachs6191 no, meaning hasn't changed

whole day

Yeah, we are not used to 35+ degrees in Norway. No problem warming up on local races when the temperature stays around 20*C in the summer.

@@nerocoaching cheers. Was looking in the Nero comments not description 🤦🏼‍♂️You should expand your other apparel offerings.

That carb target for carb loading is total for the day, not on top of other food. And it doesn't need to be pasta, could add in sugary drinks like fruit juice, candy/lollies, cereals, etc to get there without the bulk
