[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2555564, member: 103996"] There actually is a way to train for altitude! Lung training is its own exercise. You can do breathing exercises, work your core, and if you want an even better lung training experience you can purchase an altitude mask. They make it challenging to breathe. It’s technically the same air pressure, but since your lungs have to work harder it trains the same part of the lungs that being in actual lower pressure will do. Our cross country team used those when I was in high school, so they’ve been around at least 10 years. They really did help us for when we went from our 950ft elevation hometown to our 2 training weeks in Estes Park Colorado. One of the guys refused to wear the mask and he was coughing up blood and got altitude sickness when we were there, no one else did. So I can attest they work. Don’t remember how expensive they are though but I don’t remember them being insane, just more than you’d want to pay for a mask. [/QUOTE]
