@nickwillis @stevewillis_NZ @TStellingwerff @stevemagness @Scienceofsport @BiomechMax @ALTIS @simonrogersNZ @bendaytoday @FrontSportsAL @sweatscience (2)I shared a race velocity profile to which Nick shared tactics was the key in the end result. He was absolutely right, a velocity profile (which predominates the majority of this work in the area of tactics/pacing) – gives only a very surface characterization of what’s going on
@nickwillis @stevewillis_NZ @TStellingwerff @stevemagness @Scienceofsport @BiomechMax @ALTIS @simonrogersNZ @bendaytoday @FrontSportsAL @sweatscience (3) I felt pretty useless in being able to provide useful insights to support what tactically was going on. We had to evolve our approach… First is what we found...(followed by practical apps, then future researcher discussions).
#Doha2019 World Champs starts tonight! Our NEW podcast sets the scene with a focus on the physiology & impact of the heat, & other likely themes (doping, stars, races to watch): podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/the… Available on all major pod platforms. We’ll do event analysis next week!
Speaking of podcast, here’s a little ‘aperitif’ of our podcast discussion. Right now, in Doha, these are the conditions. The women’s marathon starts at 11.59pm in Doha. So 32C, very little wind, humidity 74%, feels like 42C. Terrific fun…performance-wise, here’s some thoughts...
Running produces heat - the body allows heat storage, and our temp climbs from resting 37C into the 39s, approaching 40C. Eventually though, a critical hyperthermia is reached. In lab studies, it’s at about 40C. Elites in races can probably go higher. But eventually, ‘lights out'
