Altitude Training: What, why and how - including if you don't live in the mountains!


Listen Later

More altitude can mean more power... eventually.

Training at altitude - or even just sleeping at altitude - can increase your red blood cell production, which means more oxygen to your muscles and therefore more power output. There are other benefits, and many caveats. And we get into those.

But what about riders who don't live at or near altitude - and who have a high altitude race like Leadville 100 or SBT GRVL coming up? Well, we'll get into that, too.

On today's podcast Coach Frank is joined by Coach Elliott, who falls into that "I live near sea level and I'm doing Leadville in a few weeks" camp. Elliott explains what he's been doing to prepare, and how he is coaching his athletes for Leadville and SBT GRVL.

You might not be able to do nine week at altitude like Tour de France stage winner Victor Campenaerts, but there are things you can do!
