Been thinking of trying altitude training to boost my performance. Anyone have real-world experience with it? Is it really worth the hassle and expense?
I've done a few altitude camps and it definitely helped my endurance. The key is to acclimate slowly and listen to your body. It's not for everyone, but if you can make it work, it's worth it.
I've heard mixed reviews about altitude training. Yeah, it can improve endurance, but it's not a magic bullet. You can get similar benefits from high-intensity interval training at sea level. Plus, it's a lot cheaper and more convenient. Unless you're a pro, I think it's not worth the hassle and expense.
