The cold was quite a shock to the guys at the start of the season, but it helped that 'Coach' first demonstrated the practice. They eventually got in the habit and even asked to soak more often, especially when running twice a day during the summer months. I have not heard of alternating cold/hot in thirty-second blasts and will have to try it! When I used to coach a high school Cross Country team, we bathed in ice water at least once a week.
