When visiting Cuzco in Peru my husband and I had to run across a street the first day there and we were gasping for breath. It was a startling realization of the effects of high altitude.
I’m fairly certain that Irish group was one that included a few internationals. I know for certain that Kellan Kilrehill who’s an U23 athlete was there. Cool to see them
Great vid. Lived at 2 600 metres for a year. Didn’t run much until I returned to sea level. Simply living at that altitude made me feel like I couldn’t tire.
Fascinating, and as enjoyable as one has come to expect Harry. Well done. It looked wonderful up there in Fort Romeu, but given my limited finances I think my next trip abroad for training will see all my runs ending on a tropical beach with a good bar. If I have to run in a sombrero wearing ridiculous sunglasses so be it. I am determined to sustain my parkrun form .
Of you were a lesser UA-cam channel, your video title would have been “I Trained at Altitude and you Won’t Believe what Happened”. Kudos for giving us a taste of how the elites do it.
As a young woman (an baby runner _ benn running for less than 2years) and living at a small village located in the french Alps at 1300m.a.s.l.. this video was super interesting but I would love to learn more about the long term effects and all . But anyway, great video as usual 🥰 PS: if one day you pass in the french Alps I could show you an entertaining type of race (that I think you don't have in the UK) : a vertical kilometers, the one we have at the village is 3,6km for 1000m of elevation 🔥
Another awesome video! I wanted to know if you trained for the prescribed 3+ weeks, how long would the benefit last back at sea level? How long before the blood count returned to normal range?
Interesting that it gets harder above 1700m. I will be running the Mont Blanc Cross in about 3 weeks, which goes above 2000m. Gulp. More so because I am in my 70s, which probably isn't going to help.
Would you recommend doing track run workouts if you get the chance in include them in your plan and if so is investing in some track shoes recommend or will standard runner trainer do.
I wouldn’t bother with track shoes until you’re really doing a lot of track work Richard, just something that’s comfortable to begin with. I’ve found the track an excellent tool for consistent and to get used to running fast, often faster than race pace.
@@thisisjogon brilliant thank you. I've been working on my 5k race plan so will add some track work in. Hopefully get a sub 17 park run. Thanks for all the videos and podcasts really is an amazing channel.
I live in south Africa as a runner at around 1600m im visiting the United Kingdom at the end on July would it be benificial to do a big distance training block while there as the altitude would be significantly lower?

Thanks Harry, loved the video. You make by day everytime you upload a new video (and nudge me to go for that run!).
Love it Thomas
This Channel is so underrated! Great Work!
Thank you very much
Running in the snow is a pleasure and that looked fantastic!
It really is Patrick, thanks for watching

Amazing Lisa, I find the topic quite fascinating

Amazing stuff, thanks for the information Christopher, one definitely looked about and thought 'everyone here looks fast'
Great vid. Lived at 2 600 metres for a year. Didn’t run much until I returned to sea level. Simply living at that altitude made me feel like I couldn’t tire.
Amazing
Really enjoyed this, Paula Radcliffe trained there i believe, glad nothing fell on your head as need my fix of HM videos,
Thank you Jen, she did indeed

Many thanks David.
They think heat acclimation could have similar results to altitude, so you'll be getting the benefits and the pina colada
@@thisisjogon Hoorah!
Inspiring, as always!
Cheers Rachael
starting to get into running. watching this, it's nice I have the privilege of liveing at 1500 meters
Absolutely

You won't believe what my next video will be
Thanks as always for the support
Certainly helped your skipping Harry!!!....Very Pro :)
Cheers Stuart
Awesome video!
Appreciate it, trying to bring an educational element to this one and not just me shouting at the camera
Cheers for watching

Thank you Mathilde - would love to visit again. Your lungs might be amazing at this point..
Thanks for the information. Pretty sure I won’t be doing that for a while!😂
Maybe one day Arthur
Another awesome video! I wanted to know if you trained for the prescribed 3+ weeks, how long would the benefit last back at sea level? How long before the blood count returned to normal range?
It’s a great question. My understanding is that it varies per individual, but it’s usually a matter of days - it’s not as long as one might hope for.
How do you only have 10k subs? Great videos.
Very kind of you to say, we're aiming for bigger numbers, it's the long game.
Thank you for watching it's appreciated
Harry
Perspective is funny. I live at about 2000 meters and don't think of it as being "at altitude".
It's altitude and if you're running at sea level in decent temperature +8C° to +12C° or around 50F° you will simply set your PR
Tylor I suspect your lungs are pretty awesome

Amazing, enjoy the experience that sounds great

*When you eat the snow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A low moment

Not my area of expertise Chad, you could reach out to Charlie and find out, appreciate you watching
