sea level

Welcome back to altitude, lungs
Posted by simon on 7/22/2007 on simon's blog

Well, that was a bit of a shock!

I've hardly run since last Sunday's 10k at sea level in London's Hyde Park, but today was Back to Schedule day. I met Bobby McGee, Marci and fellow milers Kyle and Frank for an early-morning training session on the Pearl Street Mile course.

altitude adjustment
Posted by run away on 4/9/2007

Any specific suggestions for preparing for a marathon at a higher altitude than one is used to? I live, train, and run about 35 miles a week at sea level, and will be participating in the 2007 Colorado Colfax Marathon. The air in Denver is, of course, much thinner than here. I'll arrive in Denver three or four days before the race. Generally speaking, is that enough time to acclimate? Anything else I can do in advance to prep? Thanks!
