Altitude Training 101 - with Mile High Training & Altitude Athletics! - a podcast by The Pacing and Racing Podcast

Today we have the Director of Mile High Training on the podcast to talk to us about the benefits and physiology of altitude training!
So I am excited to say that I have been partnering with Altitude Athletics which is a gym that is opening up this fall in Toronto that focuses on Altitude training for endurance athletes which is an amazing concept because if there’s one common paradigm in all the pro athlete interviews I’ve had is that they all spend time in Boulder Colorado training at 5400ft elevation. 
Altitude Athletics have brought the elevation to Toronto which is incredible because they will have treadmills, plyometric equipment, bike trainers and so much more that you can use and train in elevations ranging from 6000ft to 12,000 ft. If you guys are in the Toronto area then I highly recommend joining me in training there and you can find out more on that by checking them out on Instagram @altitudeathletic 
So Altitude Athletic has hooked me up with a Generator and Mask that allows me to train at elevation in my own home! So in preparation for this I wanted to have altitude training expert Matt Formato to walk us all through what altitude training is all about and answer and questions and misconceptions around the style of training. 
We will learn in this episode what the purpose of altitude training is, how it affects our body, how we will see improvements, and most importantly how do you structure a training plan around altitude training (and are there any risk factors involved)! 
I’m super excited for this episode and I can’t wait to train like the pros with the help of Altitude Athletics as well as Matt Formato from Mile High Training. I will be documenting my training with Altitude on my YouTube Channel so be sure to subscribe to it by searching Pacing and Racing! 
Now, let’s hear it from the expert himself!
