In part 1, we explored why the body responds to altitude in ways that boost endurance. Now, we’ll shift our focus to how these adaptations can be harnessed for performance gains. We’ll also look at limitations and risks, because even proven methods come with trade-offs.

Altitude training works by triggering a series of adaptations throughout the body. Higher rates of EPO production start within hours, but the real benefits emerge over weeks as muscles develop new capillaries and learn to operate with less oxygen
