I read in Lore of Running (the best book on the science of running, in my opinion) that 7000 ft is sort of a magic level that you have to be above to generate new red blood cells. So 3500 ft probably provides some benefit, but 7000+ may give a disproportionately better benefit. I don't know if they still do this, but in college you used to have a sort of handicap where you didn't have to run as fast to qualify for Nationals if you ran above 3000 ft. So this would sest that even running at 3000 ft is substantially harder than running at a lower elevation, which would sest that if you trained there that it would feel easier to run at sea level. |

So there's sea level and there's around 7000ft, which is where A state is. |
