Get race day heat ready in just two weeks. This focused Heat Acclimation block trains your body to handle a hot event on 5 to 7 hours a week, entirely indoors on Zwift or the trainer. WHO IT IS FOR. Cyclists and triathletes with a hot race, gran fondo or training trip ahead who want to arrive adapted, not ambushed by the heat. You carry your own current FTP in, there is no test, this is a heat adaptation protocol like a taper. HOW IT PROGRESSES. Week one stacks six near consecutive easy to moderate heat exposure rides to expand your plasma volume, start you sweating earlier and lower your heart rate and core temperature. Week two maintains that hard won adaptation while you freshen for the event. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT. The heat is the stimulus, not the watts, every ride is easy Zone 2 in a warm room or overdressed on the trainer, with a real academic paper behind each session and a clear safety framework throughout. WHAT TO EXPECT EACH WEEK. Week one, load the heat daily and build tolerance. Week two, hold the adaptation, add a few openers and arrive fresh, cool under pressure and confident on a hot start line. Always hydrate with electrolytes and never push through heat illness symptoms.
