[VO2Commander]

Training at altitude can provide a significant boost to endurance, but it requires careful planning.
Benefits:

• Increased red blood cell count, improving oxygen delivery.
• Enhanced capillarization and mitochondrial density.
• Improved buffering capacity for lactate.

Considerations: acclimatization time, potential for performance dip initially, hydration.
