Training at altitude can provide a significant boost to endurance, but it requires careful planning.Benefits:
- Increased red blood cell count, improving oxygen delivery.
- Enhanced capillarization and mitochondrial density.
- Improved buffering capacity for lactate.
Considerations: acclimatization time, potential for performance dip initially, hydration.
"Train high, live low."
Have you ever tried altitude training?
