I'm planning a vacation to Denver in June. At the time, they wil be holding the Mile High, One Mile. I live in an area that is very close to sea level. I was wondering if anyone can give to me training ideas to get ready for the high altitude.

Craig- how early can you get there? About 17 years ago I was passing through Durango CO, in my best shape in years (driving to Woodlands Texas for USMS LCNats) & found my motel had a 25meter pool (really!). I tried to do a taper-type workout but my lungs took job action; it was awful, so short of EPO I don't imagine you can do much where you are (other than be that much better than everyone else) short of finding some way to acclimate in advance. Maybe wear drag suits until you leave? Not much help from me I guess, sorry.
