CORE Heat Suit FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Begin 5-6 weeks before your goal race for maximum adaptation. The physiological changes—increased hemoglobin mass and plasma volume—take 4-5 weeks to fully develop, so timing matters for peak benefits on race day.
Start with 3 sessions per week for 40-50 minutes during easy to moderate training. Build to 5 sessions per week as you adapt. Studies show 5 weekly sessions produce the most significant hemoglobin mass increases.
No! Research shows heat training improves performance in all conditions, not just hot weather. The hemoglobin mass gains boost oxygen delivery whether you're racing in 50°F or 90°F temps.
Yes! Each suit is reusable. Simply rinse it in the shower after each session and let it air dry. With proper care, each suit lasts through multiple training sessions before replacement.
No, but it's highly recommended. The CORE sensor lets you monitor your exact core body temperature to ensure you're training in the optimal heat zone (38.5-39°C) without overdoing it.
When done properly with medical guidance and coach supervision, yes. Always hydrate aggressively, monitor how you feel, and stop immediately if you experience dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Not recommended for those over 65, pregnant women, or anyone with heart conditions without physician approval.
