Heat training

Heat training is as critical as diet and fitness for race walkers,marathoners,middle-distance runners and long-distance runners who participate in the summer Olympic Games.
                                   Long-distance runners often train in heat to get used to sweltering conditions and soaring temperatures.It is important for athletes to stay cool and hydrated during hot weather.
                                   As for sprinters,the hotter the better.The heat is welcome for sprinters because the heat warms up the muscles.Hot weather is actually the best environment for sprinters because they are not on the track for too long and their running involves a lot of short,explosive movements.
                                    In extreme heat making the last few steps on a marathon ,a race-walk or long-distance race is nearly impossible.Hence heat training and mental toughness are of immense help.
