Pushing Limits: Boosting Endurance at High Altitude

In this high-elevation episode of Strength In Knowledge, we explore how to optimize endurance performance when the air gets thin. Based on the research by Salgado, Ryan, Seeley, and Charkoudian, we dive into both traditional and cutting-edge strategies designed to help athletes thrive at altitude.From acclimatization protocols and hypoxic training to novel interventions like dietary supplements and advanced breathing techniques, this episode examines what the science says—and what actually works. Whether you're coaching endurance athletes, treating altitude-related fatigue, or training for your own alpine challenge, you’ll gain valuable insights into boosting performance when oxygen is limited.

⛰️ Tune in to learn how to go further, faster, and stronger—no matter the altitude.
