As you get more comfortable going faster your rims will not get as hot. The faster you go the more energy will be dissipated through aero drag. If you go slower your rims will naturally get hotter regardless of how you brake (alternating front and rear or using both). So let the bike coast on straight stretches and use both brakes hard before the corner to scrub off enough speed to take the corner safely.
