Ensuring a high quality hot water immersion experience for a participant.

Data collection almost wrapped up - it's been a full on but very fun 3 months, and I've definitely learnt a few things about the reality of data collection!

A week to go to the Valencia Marathon, @dan-osborn-nash.bsky.social has undertaken his customary lab test - with positive results - has locked in his kit for race day, and is getting a haircut! Now just to run the race - this week's episode: open.spotify.com/episode/4U9g... #SportScience

Last few participants in the bath over the next 2 weeks before it's time to analyse some blood samples. I'm always curious what the "hot water immersion" setup in studies looks like - I'm sure most are a bit more luxurious than ours (it gets the job done though)!

Entering the last few weeks of data collection - lots of early mornings, long days & blood samples, and a lot of learning on my end about the reality of research!

Hoping to have some good data on the acute EPO response to hot water immersion to share soon!
