Cycling Heat Training: A Complete Guide | Velo The number-one rule of heat training is to take it slow and steady. Overcooking a heat training session can ruin your body for weeks if you’re not careful. That said, let’s stick with the following protocol. Heat training protocol: 5x 30-60 min sessions per week for 2-3 weeks. Week 1: 4x 30 min sessions with Zone 1 power. Focus on raising your core temperature and allowing your body time to adapt to the new type of training. Week 2: 5x 40-50 min sessions with Zone 2 power. Continue to allow your body time to adapt to the training. Week 3: 5x 50-60 min sessions with Zone 2 power. Focus on high-quality heat training sessions. No need to push past the hour mark. If you are experienced with heat training, you can add one more week of heat training sessions to increase adaptations. Note: ALWAYS drink lots of water (room-temperature, not cold) during your heat training sessions. Dehydrating yourself will not increase your adaptations. In fact, it will probably ruin them. https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-training/heat-training-cycling-complete-guide/
