In this episode of "Adaptation by Fire," we sit down with Simen Holvik, the first Norwegian to finish and win the grueling Badwater ultramarathon. Simen shares his unique journey of mastering heat acclimation, a crucial skill for anyone aiming to succeed in extreme conditions.
He dives into his comprehensive approach to heat training, which includes sessions in hot climates, the use of an infrared sauna, and meticulous analysis of his sodium levels. Simen also underscores the critical role of proper hydration and fueling during races, especially in scorching temperatures.
For those gearing up for hot races, Simen offers practical advice: incorporate a portable infrared sauna into your routine, follow up sauna sessions with cold showers or swimming, and train in environments that mirror race-day conditions. Tune in to hear how Simen's methods can help you prepare for your next challenge in the heat.
