What? No one should get special treatment as far as scheduling. She shouldn't be a consideration at all. If the argument was to draw a bigger crowd in prime time, that's a different consideration, but not for age related heat difficulties.

The majority of person's cardiovascular capacity is determined by genetics. How much air can be inhaled and how much oxygen the blood can carry. The first can't be changed to any significant degree, but the blood responds to continuous oxygen demands by simply carrying more red blood cells. (Just staying at an elevation 1.6km (~1 mile) higher for two weeks the body responds by creating approximately 1 million more red blood cells.) Athletes can increase their bloods oxygen capacity by doing more intense cardiovascular training. Like running multiple 40, 60, 80 and 100 meter dashes. And maybe throw in a one or two 200 meter dashes. But that might be too much work for today's athletes.
