SUPER PRACTICAL - JUNE 2025
Quick, actionable steps from studies I shared this month.
Sorry for the slight delay this month. Here’s the SUPER PRACTICAL newsletter for June.
Each item in the list has a link to the original newsletter with all the details and related research. Just click on the DO, MAYBE, or DON’T.
My top 3 from JUNE
DO: Include sprint training sessions in an endurance training plan. Adding sprint interval sessions twice a week over six weeks can enhance time to exhaustion and short-to-mid-distance running performance in well-trained distance runners.
MAYBE: Try heat training to prepare for races at altitude. Post-exercise hot-water immersion at 42°C for 40–50min, five times per week, can improve endurance performance in hypoxic conditions.
DON’T: Use drinks with menthol in the heat. Adding menthol to a carbohydrate sports drink did not enhance thermal comfort or improve endurance performance during indoor cycling without airflow.
