Every runner cooled down the wrong way… except the last guy. 🥶🏃 Most runners dipped their hats in ice for quick relief. But the last guy immersed his forearms in snow to cool down faster. The idea is to cool blood flowing near the skin and help lower body... temperature. But cold water immersion and proper cooling methods are more effective than snow alone. Smart move or overkill? ❄️🔥show more

except he just lost like 12secs? 🤣 that shit better work miracles otherwise not worth it.

Nah, should have did the hat aswell.

that last guy's approach seems way more effective for quick cooling

A little gross but helps to cool you down

Even in professional road cycling races, the riders were doing this kind of cool-down, too.

So no one is bothered that you are dunking your hat and body into a bucket of sweat from all the other runners?

forearms are actually the move for core temp but the hat thing is fair game too honestly

I don’t trust my watch in ice… and it’s race don’t have time to waste 🏃🏾‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏾‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏾‍♂️‍➡️😂

Time

The NHL did a trial run if a similar method that involved a glovelike product with a cooling rod that you grip. They found that 60 F degrees was optimal and showed substantial recovery benefit between shits. Any colder and the blood vessels constricted and it was pointless.

@FemaleJaysFan is this true?

@grok explain .is it true

Last guy did it the same way we were taught in the Army. Drops your core temp more efficiently.

😎👍🏻

He didn't do the hat because it's a pain in the ass to take it off put it on and redoo the hair. 😅

I’ve never encountered such a problem… I wonder how far they were running.

@grok plz confirm if true

He also lost the race

I just dumped ice down my shirt at every aid station. No problem.

thanks, i shall use this next time
