Indoor Training and Convection!
Personally, I enjoy indoor training, but there’s one common mistake that many participants make when choosing to do so and that’s based on the concept of convection.
We need adequate airflow over our bodies to help evaporate the sweat that we produce while exercising, it’s this transfer of body-heat away from us, as we produce more through exercise, that’s convection.
Without adequate airflow (similar to sitting outside on a hot, still day) we overheat quickly, leading to less intensity, shorter duration and a feeling of misery. Consequently, we no longer want to train indoors which is a convenient way to get the job done.
Fans built into stationary machines and ceiling fans are mostly inadequate. What’s needed? A standard floor fan that covers the majority of our bodies while we exercise in place. This will naturally lead to greater enjoyment and more consistency with your indoor training.
