Field Guide 16 — Heat Training

When it is brutal outside, bravado is not a training plan.

This one opens with a warning, because heat exhaustion and heat stroke are real medical emergencies, and it lists the signs that mean stop and seek care now: dizziness, nausea, confusion, or a body that has stopped sweating. For healthy adults in genuinely hot climates, air-conditioned indoor training is the smart default, and outdoor work belongs to the dawn and dusk windows only. Hydration, electrolytes, and a ten-to-fourteen-day acclimatisation timeline are not optional. Susan trains indoors through the Gulf summer; Brad insists on midday running and earns heat exhaustion most Julys. The field guide for the six months of summer that actually try to hurt you.

Includes the complete audiobook (MP3, AI-narrated).
