A Wonderful Place
Rob Watson/Inner Voice, 19 Dec 2018
I like music even more than I like running. I don’t play an instrument,
I’ve never had the gear, and I’ve never had the ability. But I’ve always
been really into the punk rock/hardcore scene. I can’t explain it. I’ve
been going to punk rock shows since I was 13 years old. Growing up,

Jim Peterman, Training Peaks/August 9, 2017
The dog days of summer are here but so too are some of the best races of the year. Performing well in these races requires both fitness and an ability to withstand the heat.
Heat acclimatization in the weeks prior to an event is the most important step for beating the heat on race day.1 However, in addition to acclimatizing to the heat, there are a number of different strategies that can help you keep cool and improve performance on race day.
When you are exercising, roughly 75 percent of the energy required for muscle contraction is lost as heat. Hot summer days make it difficult for the body to get rid of all this heat. As a result, your body temperature begins to increase which can lead to dizziness, headaches, nausea, and even brain damage.
