What if there was a way to boost your VOâ‚‚ max, improve heat tolerance, and potentially increase endurance without adding a single extra workout to your training week?


Most runners are always looking for the next thing that will help them run faster, recover better, and stay healthier for the long haul. In this episode, I break down one of the most overlooked performance tools available: sauna training. You'll learn how heat exposure can improve endurance, boost key physiological adaptations, and help your body handle hard efforts more efficiently. I also share a simple protocol to get started, common mistakes runners make, and why the benefits may extend far beyond race day and into long-term health and longevity.


Key Takeaways

  1. Sauna training may help improve endurance and running performance by creating adaptations similar to altitude training, without changing where you live or train.
  2. Consistency matters more than suffering. Starting with short sessions and gradually building up is the safest and most effective way to get the benefits.
  3. Sauna is one of the few tools that may improve both athletic performance and long-term health, making it a valuable addition to your training routine.
