The science behind altitude training is wildly misunderstood, and most athletes are using it the wrong way.
Spencer shares his firsthand experience from five weeks at Everest Base Camp, while Oli debunks the massive myth that there is less oxygen at altitude. He breaks down the physiological shift that happens when your partial pressure drops, why your VO2 max plummets by up to 8% for every 1,000m of elevation, and the hidden training quality problem that stops athletes from getting true progressive overload.
The guys dive into the ultimate hybrid solution: why you should train low but sleep high using hypoxic tents, the exact mechanics behind the "rockstar peak" when you return to sea level, and why altitude gains are a marginal 5% edge that you should only chase once your nutrition, sleep, and baseline training are completely optimised.
