LDT103 - SO WHAT?
Dr. Dan Plews talks about the background of Endure IQ LDT103, and why this course 'Optimizing Long Distance Triathlon Training and Performance in the Heat' is so important for athletes and coaches.
In Endure IQ LDT103 you’ll learn all about training and performing in the heat. If you look at research, a good heat acclimation program can see performance improvements of up to 15%. To give you the best performance in both hot and temperate conditions, we’ve covered all the components of this hot topic that you need to know. At the end of the course, we’ve brought it all together for you with practical recommendations that will help you confidently prepare and execute heat acclimation programs for yourself or your athletes.

"Great course that will be helpful to any athlete (or coach) preparing for races in the heat (such as Kona). I love that Endure IQ courses take the science and pull it apart for practical application. I also love that the presenters are obviously passionate and invested in endurance sport and cut through the blizzard of bullshit marketing information in the world to provide education based on fact."
Mike Quinn
Athlete
"Another excellent course full of info and examples based on scientific research and practice in real life with great tips on how to deal with training and racing in the heat."
Jan Gremmen
Triathlon Coach
"Super valuable course if you are interested in how food can effect your performance and your general health. The material is compact and very visual thanks to all the video recordings. Plenty of scientific examples for those who love digging into more detail but also easy to follow if you just want to understand the concept and how to approach LCHF. There are so many ‘’diets’’ on the market that are recommended for long distance athletes. Dan and his team are looking into some interesting facts and evidence why many athletes are struggling when it comes to food, body composition and taking the performance to next level. If you think the LCHF is not your cup of tea, it will still put lot of things into perspective in long distance sport performance. It is a course that links science, proof and practice into one holistic approach."
