In this episode I discuss the pros and cons of simulated altitude training. And I answer the burning question... does it help prevent altitude sickness?

You will learn:

What simulated altitude training actually is (and how it is can't be considered the same as natural altitude)
What the claims of 'pre-acclimatisation' mean (and if this actually works!) How this type of training affects endurance, strength, power and weight loss
And much, much more...
