Optimizing Acclimatization for High Altitude Training
In the first week of high altitude training, focus on hydration to counter increased dehydration. Prioritize sleep as its quality may decrease at altitude, especially with sleep apnea sufferers. Doubling up daily workouts in the initial days can aid acclimatization; splitting the workout volume in two may help athletes acclimatize faster and better than doing single workouts. Additionally, extending recovery periods during intervals is beneficial for adjustment to altitude.
