Simulated altitude training is a strategy for athletes who live at or near sea level and train in low-oxygen environments that simulate high altitudes. Reducing the oxygen in the environment increases the training stimulus, which causes the body to adapt and become more efficient at using oxygen. These physiological adaptations can lead to numerous performance benefits that can take you to the front of the pack in your next race.

YOUR CHALLENGES
- Boosting my stamina without spending hours training
- Struggling to shave critical seconds/minutes off of my race time
- It’s hard to find the right balance of training and recovery
- Easing the impact of long sessions on my body without then losing fitness benefit
- Traveling to altitude camps can be costly and time-consuming
OUR SOLUTIONS
- Go Longer: Increase the body’s capacity to deliver oxygen to working muscles and tissues
- Go Harder: Improve anaerobic threshold so you can work at higher speeds without excess fatigue
- Recover Faster: Better lactate clearance to delay the onset of fatigue
- Train Smarter: Reduce training load while boosting fitness

Track your metrics: Discover your VO2 max, training zones and identify weaknesses with a performance assessment
ENDURANCE Training CASE STUDIES
Altitude has been studied extensively in the context of endurance athlete training. It has been shown to provide numerous race-making benefits. As an endurance athlete, this means you can work at the same or higher intensity for longer without accumulating fatigue.
