Week 3 of our May HEAT Series is here! Last week we covered how to safely heat train. This week we focus on the other side of the equation: how to stay cool when the temperature rises. Overheating (exercise-induced hyperthermia) can sabotage performance, spike heart rate, increase perceived effort, and raise injury risk. The good news? Smart cooling strategies before, during, and after exercise can dramatically improve thermal comfort, delay fatigue, and boost endurance, some

Welcome to Week 2 of our May HEAT Series! Last week we covered the dangers of exercise-induced hyperthermia. This week we flip the script and show you how to harness heat as a training tool! We wrote a blog about this on January 12, 2026 but we're diving deeper into the topic! Heat training (also called heat acclimation or acclimatization) is the deliberate process of exposing your body to elevated temperatures during exercise so it adapts and becomes more efficient at cool

At Project Blue Health Optimization, our mission is to empower athletes and high-performers with data-driven insights to enhance their training, recovery, and longevity. We believe that understanding your body's metabolic responses isn't just for elite pros—it's for anyone serious about pushing limits sustainably. Last weekend, that philosophy hit the road during the Tour de Palm Springs, a beloved charity event featuring a scenic 100+ mile loop through the Coachella Valley.
