I’ve spent a lifetime training, really. I can define the moment I started training as PE class in secondary school where the principles of progressive overload and recorded training were explained to us, before doing a weights session. 25 years later and I still basically apply the same principles to my training, with a few nuances added here and there. But something I think is missed within the media, is how easy training really is. Especially going to the gym. It takes almo

The normal range for core temperature is 36.5°C-37.5°C but in reality we can exceed these temperatures. An extreme but survivable core temperature would be about 41°C, beyond which you’d expect to see organ and brain damage as the body effectively cooks itself very gradually. Scans of people’s brains after suffering heat injuries demonstrate that tissue is damaged as if it’s been cooked! If our core temperature exceeds our safe limit then we may collapse from heat exhaustion.
