Coaching Services
Every plan starts with understanding you: your physiology, your training, your race, your timeline. From there, I build a heat acclimation protocol that's precise, monitored, and individualized.
Quick Acclimation: Event Sprint
Who it's for: You're racing Kona in October. You're running Badwater. You have a military deployment to a hot climate in 3-4 weeks. You need to be heat-ready, fast.
What's Included
- ✓Initial assessment and physiological baseline
- ✓6-10 day individualized acclimation protocol
- ✓Real-time session monitoring via wearable data
- ✓Protocol adjustments based on your adaptation response
- ✓Race-day thermal strategy (pre-cooling, hydration, pacing, in-race cooling)
Two-Phase Protocol: Premium Race Prep
Who it's for: You're a serious competitor 6-8 weeks from a target event in the heat. You want the deepest level of adaptation with a structured, phased approach.
What's Included
- ✓Comprehensive intake and physiological testing
- ✓Phase 1: Acclimation block with progressive heat loading
- ✓Maintenance bridge to preserve adaptations
- ✓Phase 2: Sharpening block timed to your event
- ✓Ongoing monitoring and protocol adjustment throughout
- ✓Race-day strategy + post-event debrief and analysis
Year-Round Heat Machine: Ongoing Coaching
Who it's for: You compete regularly in hot conditions. You want to maintain a high level of heat adaptation year-round and optimize for multiple events.
What's Included
- ✓Periodic heat blocks with seasonal periodization
- ✓1-2 maintenance sessions per week
- ✓Quarterly reassessment of heat adaptation status
- ✓Continuous protocol refinement based on training and competition schedule
What You'll Need
CORE Sensor
Continuous core body temperature monitoring during heat sessions. Essential for real-time protocol management.
HR Monitor
Heart rate data paired with core temp gives a complete picture of your thermoregulatory response.
Heat Access
A sauna, hot bath, or outdoor heat environment for structured heat sessions. I'll help you figure out the best option.
How Virtual Coaching Works
Intake Call
We discuss your goals, history, timeline, and equipment setup.
Monitored Sessions
I monitor your heat sessions in real time via wearable data, guiding you through each one.
Async Check-Ins
Between sessions, I review your data and adjust your protocol. You get updates and guidance via message.
Race-Day Handoff
You get a complete thermal strategy for race day: pre-cooling, hydration, pacing, and in-race cooling, all individualized.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see results?
Most athletes begin showing measurable heat adaptation within 5-7 days of structured heat exposure. The full timeline depends on your starting fitness, the protocol intensity, and your race timeline.
Do I need to be in-person?
No. All coaching is delivered virtually. I monitor your sessions in real time using wearable data and adjust your protocol remotely.
What equipment do I need?
You'll need a CORE body temperature sensor, a heart rate monitor, and access to a sauna or hot bath for heat sessions. I'll walk you through setup during your intake.
Can this integrate with my existing coach's plan?
Absolutely. I design heat protocols to complement your training plan, not replace it. I'm happy to coordinate with your coach to integrate heat blocks into your periodization.
