Description

In this episode of The Albon Way, Henriette and Jon dive into the sweaty side of race prep, namely heat training. From DIY heat caves and sauna sessions to layering up for treadmill hikes, they break down the difference between active and passive heat exposure, when and how to use each, and why it’s not just for hot races. They share real-world insights from their own training (and missteps), plus essential tips on hydration, nutrition, recovery, and monitoring your body's response. Whether you're prepping for heat, altitude, or just want a fitness boost from sweating your arse off, this one's for you.
