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.
There is no "rule" on wether altitude will have an effect on ones performance, in general most people do have some degree of distress.
We got back to CO a few days before last weekends meet after being in AZ for a period of time....and as usual I was sucking wind in training big time, but I've rarely had a significant impact on my race times.....however getting out of the pool afterwards wanting to throw up and stumbling to the warm down pool for an extended warm down is pretty humorous!
