Using as described in this article “threshold workouts” or what we refer to as HIIT training, cyclists, triathletes, and runners can reduce their overall training volume but still see drastic improvements in time. It is important to have a structured training program to maximize workload but reduce the chance of injury.

Says Randy: “After reading The Art of Learning last year, my life has changed significantly. Let me explain: read more….
Well the time finally came for my run at the 2010 Muay Thai Classic Championship. I spent the last 6 months rehabbing my knee, drastically improving my skill and conditioning level (a combination of sport specific drills, The Eleet Program™, MMA Conditioning Drills, Medicine Ball Training, Outdoor Fitness Bootcamp, and Kettlebell Training). I want to thank my coaches Tim Mousel and Pat Swan and all of my training/sparring partners. Without great instruction and team members to challenge me, I would not have performed as well as I did. Unfortunately I fell short of my goal of a championship however I had some fantastic fights and finished with another 2nd place finish. Video footage of the fights will be available to all members of Eleet Fitness.

With personal and team experience with this topic, we at Eleet Fitness continue to preach the importance for athletes to acclimatize to the heat. As this article demonstrates, heat can significantly decrease performance. It is important to be knowledgeable about air temperature as well as the heat index (the combination of air temperature and relative humidity). The formula to determine heat index is somewhat complex so we will not go into detail on the calculations however is it important to know when the heat index has reached dangerous levels. Please use the information below to help identify dangerous heat index zones.
EFFECTS OF THE HEAT INDEX
27–32 °C 80–90 °F
Caution — fatigue is possible with prolonged exposure and activity. Continuing activity could result in heat cramps
32–41 °C 90–105 °F
Extreme caution — heat cramps, and heat exhaustion are possible. Continuing activity could result in heat stroke
41–54 °C 105–130 °F
Danger — heat cramps, and heat exhaustion are likely; heat stroke is probable with continued activity
over 54 °C over 130 °F
Extreme danger — heat stroke is imminent
