    What is everyone’s opinion training with extra layers to prepare for summer races. I’m not talking “bad water” extreme... more like 80s high humidity with a sweatshirt and sweatpants?

    Does it help or is this an old myth? Also is it dangerous?

    Thanks in advance!

    Of course it helps. Jon Treacy collapsed in Moscow. In 1984 he started overdressing in March and had no problems with the heat in the LA Marathon.
