Scientific research has shown that altitude training can give you a 1-2% benefit in performance.
Researchers say prolonged exposure to altitude increases your red blood cell count, which allows your blood to carry more oxygen.
After the red blood cell count increase has been achieved, you can return to low elevation and achieve that 1-2% performance improvement.
It’s a very logical chain of events to follow, but what is less logical is that, based on research, it seems the odds of altitude training actually making you faster are not good. In fact, some research claims it works less than 50% of the time.
So what does this mean for altitude training? Should you avoid it, or try it? And if you do try it, what can you do to increase your odds of it working?
