I know I am competitive and want to stay there the longest. BUT it is not worth it. You will end up doing more damage than good.
Also, you can take breaks in between!
Generally, you can do sauna and then ice bath right after. This is called "contrast therapy" which many people do. It can be very effective at reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting recovery after exercise.
It doesn't matter which order you do - you can do ice bath then sauna as well. You can also repeat these cycles a couple of times -- ice bath, sauna, ice bath, sauna, etc. -- just remember to listen to your body. Play around with it and see what works and feels good.
