Training for an Ultra in 100 Degrees I think there’s an argument that this year’s Javelina 100 was the hottest super-competitive ultra ever run. Nearly 100 degrees record heat, absolutely no shade or creeks, with a 5-day desert pre-bake. Also, I always thought that I sucked in hot weather. We were going to have to science the crap out of this problem. My heat training protocol involved 3 interventions: 1. Passive heat exposure via hot tub. Studies on hot water immersion show an increase in blood volume and heat tolerance, plus enhanced capillary function 2. Active heat exposure via heat suit training. Since 2021, 10+ studies have shown that as little as 3 weeks of heat suit training sessions can increase hemoglobin mass. My heat suit involved a base layer of normal running clothes, a sweatshirt under a down jacket, and polyester sweatpants under winter rain pants. Plus a fuzzy hat 3. Strenuous heat exposure via treadmill workouts in a warm room Here is the protocol Megan and I settled on to balance stress with training adaptations: 1. Hot tub at 104 degrees F 2-3 times per week. I stayed in until my heart rate reached 100-110 (100 on rest days, 110 when immediately after training) 2. At 4 weeks out, I started using the heat suit for 15 minutes on the uphill treadmill after runs 3 times per week, starting at moderate intensity to get my core temperature up rapidly, then dialing it back. 3 weeks out, I added 1 x 90 minute heat suit run. 2 weeks out, 1 x 90 min heat suit bike plus a 1 hour heat suit run 3. Two massive treadmill workouts in a room that was around 80 degrees 2.5 and 3.5 weeks out 4. On race week, I did hot tub every day including the day before the race, since studies show the hemoglobin mass adaptations can reverse rapidly In the race day furnace, my main goal was to gaslight myself into thinking I enjoyed the heat (which is also backed up by studies finding that emotional perception of temperature influences physiological response). In reality, I still don’t love the heat. But I love science. And I think we scienced this problem so hard that I had one of the better heat performances ever 🔥🧡 Race video from the amazing Emily Cameron 🙌

About a half hour before Sunday’s home opener against the Saints, the Ravens’ mascot Poe will take flight for the first time in Baltimore. As part of the Ravens’ new pregame entertainment called “The Uprising,” Poe will zip-line from a light tower high above Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium down to the 50-yard line, where the Marching Ravens and cheerleaders will be performing. The person who suits up as Poe has been requesting to do this type of a stunt for 20 years. “There's really no fear,” the person who suits up as Poe said. "Not that I'm an adrenaline junkie or anything, but I don't feel like I'm unsafe. I don't feel like I'm at any risk whatsoever.” When Ravens officials began brainstorming about a new pregame event, there was talk about how the band and cheerleaders would enter the field. Poe then suggested this grand entrance for him. "And when I threw it out, I did not think it was going to go through,” Poe said. Other mascots — like the ones with the Jaguars and Panthers — have zip-lined down to the field over the years. Poe even joined the Texans mascot to repel off the roof of Reliant Stadium. To prepare for Sunday’s leap, Poe has made several practice runs at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens requested that no video be taken of Poe’s practice jumps. “It's a little bit breathtaking,” said Brad Downs, the Ravens’ senior vice president of marketing. “It gets the heart pumping.” In the past, fans would arrive early to games to see Ray Lewis’ dance during player introductions. Fans later did the same to watch Terrell Suggs’ entrance that included pyrotechnics. Now, the Ravens are trying to lure fans to enter the stadium 30 minutes before kickoff with a revamped show that includes the NFL’s largest marching band and the only cheerleading squad that performs stunts. "We can't control wins and losses, but we can create an incredible pregame that gets the fans jacked up,” said Jay O’Brien, the Ravens’ vice president of broadcasting and gameday productions. "Jesse [Minter, Ravens coach] talked about how important the first drive is. So we want this place to be full and loud from the first drive, not people kind of trickling in. We want this place going.” The Ravens have plans of changing up how Poe enters the field throughout the home schedule. “We're just having fun with it,” Downs said. "We're going to see how it goes this week. I don't think this is the last time we're going to make him fly. But yeah, we're really trying to get a little uniqueness to that as well.”

Kevin O’Connell tells Vikings QBs he doesn't care if they throw interceptions in training camp “There are so many things in society, not even just football nowadays, where we want to decide in a moment this guy can or can’t, this guy’s a success or failure. And it’s just not in alignment with the reality of the position or our game.” “Everything should be driven by process, and part of process is failure. Every year in training camp I give my yearly State of the Union on the first practice: ‘Just as a heads up, I’m not going to be commenting on you guys taking your stats every single day. So-and-so went 6-of-11 with two interceptions, and then we chart it for the whole training camp and decide who won or lost this position or quarterback battle.’” “I challenge the quarterbacks all the time: we’re against Brian Flores every day. This is going to be a 10-out-of-10 stress for all of us. There are going to be good days and there are going to be bad days, but I want you to be aggressive with your decision-making.” “How will we know on third-and-eight in Week 12 that you can try to fit a ball in there to Justin Jefferson on a backside in-cut? How will we know if you don’t try to do it now?” “So when you do it now, and you take the proper footwork and try to throw it into a tight window and the ball gets tipped and intercepted, let’s go back and look at it first. I’ve got no problem with the decision. What was your footwork like? Were you in your base, balance, body position? Were you playing on the timing of the play? Did you make the protection call you needed?” “If you did all those things and it was just a blade of grass different from being the best completion you had all day, now you know.” “I can finish up a practice and go to the podium and have people say, ‘So-and-so really struggled today, didn’t you think?’ And I’m like, there’s not enough time in the day for me to explain all the reasons why you’re wrong. We’re going to go in the quarterback room, we’re going to watch it, and we’re going to be better tomorrow.”
