Training in smoke: Hacks for fire season

  • 2 min read

smoke in the sky

A lot of the West is currently on fire and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated. It's smoky but safe where you are, it's hard to breathe. Should you ride?

Check yourlocal air quality and decide if you should be outside or not. Then, adjust training as needed. Contact your coach if you need an alternate workout.

For your home,replace your air filter now and every quarter with a MERV 13 filter. It will catch smoke, smog and even viruses (by the way, the pandemic is still raging). If you use Filtrete, that's a 1900 or better. Once the filter is replaced, run the fan on your HVAC to circulate the air. The HVAC will clean the air as it pushes through the filter.

Grab a Pure Blue 411 HEPA filterfor your room and/or your workout room. It's highly rated and is available onAmazon for $99 or$129 direct. Filters are cheap and equal-quality generic options are even cheaper.
