#7	Jdflash July 16 at 2:27pm I agree with what he says, but he isn't clear. I mean you come down and what happens is that you evolve your blood; i.e. there is more oxygen for the blood to do its work, and it is here that the blood boost occurs-and spread throughout the rest of the body. Over a period of time, depending on the person, he/she is now fitter. So when they do go back to altitude and pr it is a result of this high/low/high cycle. Just a brief explanation, there are of course more variables. reply
#6	David July 16 at 2:14pm I only stayed in odessa texas and the altitude there was higher but it had a tremendous affect on how i ran when i cam back. I did no speed just other sports like basketball and swimming which probably made the difference I am ready to go up to 7000 8000 feet so i can learn to push it. When you are on the bottom the only thing left to do is go up. reply
#5	ATaltitude July 16 at 10:57am It is not completely true that your overall speed decreases at altitude. Maybe one has to tweak workouts a little, but it is very possible to not have your speed abilities decrease while at altitude. reply
#4	Patrick Moakley July 16 at 8:51am I would like to add something to what Dr. Daniels said about going to and from altitiude. While the benifits gained by your aerobic system are significant your speed abilities tend to decrease due to the lack of air pressure resulting in less resistance. By going up and down like he mentioned before the Mexico City games you can develop the aerobic system and then return for a short time to keep your speedwork fresh and the resume altitude training. The old saying, "live high, train low" holds true here. reply
#3	Dude July 16 at 8:06am I probably live further away from altitude than anyone else in the world :( Any guesses? reply
#2	Kevin Fuller July 16 at 7:53am I am interested to know what I could run other than at altitude. I have live at about 4,000 - 5,000 feet my whole life. Never ran a race at lower than that. reply
#1	Ryan July 16 at 5:03am dang, sounds like altitude is where i should train. just listening to this is so cool. so much knowledge! reply
