Episode 48: Nick Hart - The Altitude Centre Believe. Strive. Achieve. Endurance Podcast

In this episode, we meet with Nick Hart from the Altitude Centre. Nick is a
specialist in extreme environment physiology and brings this knowledge into
the discussion with our head Coach Philip. This conversation explores the
basics of physiological testing, altitude and heat training. All of these
are services available at the Altitude Centre in London.

First, we discuss how physiological testing enables athletes to understand
their signature or blueprint of their physiology. This can illuminate
training efficiency opportunities. 

We also cover altitude training methodologies and the best practices for
athletes to use altitude training to boost performance or time spent
training. We consider how home rental of altitude tents and exercise
machines can be a viable alternative for athletes wanting to maximise their
time or recover effectively from injury.

Finally, we look into the importance of heat adaption and training for heat
tolerance. This new service in their centre impacts more athletes than you
would have realised.

This is one of those episodes where you want to keep diving deeper, but for
now, we will scratch the surface and explore more of this in subsequent
episodes.
