Summer is in full force and we\u2019re back with another overrated or underrated format to tackle all your summertime training questions. This time of year can be challenging to train through. The extra heat and humidity can force you to work harder to maintain the same paces and increase the need to properly fuel with fluids and electrolytes. There\u2019s also lots of other risks that come with training in warmer weather like dehydration and sunburns.

There\u2019s a lot of information out there on how to cope with the warmer season but Coach Michael Hammond joins me to tell you what strategies and gear work to help you get fitter this summer, and which ones are overhyped. A few of the topics we\u2019ll cover include:

• Do runners need special types of sunscreen?
• Is it better to adjust your paces or your rest in warmer weather?
• Is there any benefit to pre-hydrating with extra fluids and electrolytes?
• Is a post-race beer the perfect summertime treat?

The days might be longer this time of year but these answers are rapid-fire so let\u2019s get into it!
