    One more……Portugal can get quite hot in May. Last year it topped out at 33c but there were warnings it might be 40c some days. I really struggle when the temperature gets above 30c. I live in the UK where a hot day is 25c 🙁

    Is there any way to build tolerance to heat short of moving house to a hot country? Does training indoors in a warm room work?

    Also, I took a tumble off my bike and injured my knee. Medics say it will be 2~4 weeks before I will be back on it. Any advice about adapting training for shortened training window to the TP? E.g shorten the base plan or repeat the start of the race plan before a final 12 week block?

    I’ll spend time in gym doing anything that doesn’t hurt the leg in any case.

    Thanks
