Come follow me to Flagstaff Arizona and see what I get up to on my first week of training at altitude (Did I mention its at 7000ft!!!) We've got to make sure we ease into training up here otherwise things might go south very quickly! But it is still a packed week of double days, sessions, gym, messy bedrooms and lots of snow.

So cool to see the different terrain in this video! Amazing how varied things can be when you're near mountains.

@PhilyBowden Год назад

It really is! The mountain definitely dictates the weather too.. storm incoming!

@willcummings4002 Год назад

"You get the first day free" comes from the fact that your body has not tried yet to adapt to the altitude( by killing off some red blood cells) and after about 24-48 hours at altitude your body starts to adapt and it takes 1-2 weeks for your body to get back all those blood cells and more to adjust you to altitude. That is why you have such a high-performance benefit, once you come back down to sea level your body has made enough red blood cells to handle the decreased oxygen and is now able to over absorb oxygen leading to less lactic acid buildup through a larger aerobic range.

The reason -9 feels warmer there than it does at home is humidity! Moist air takes more energy to heat and sucks warmth away from your body faster.

@ericclaire-helenerfletcher9433 Год назад

the biggest trouble with the cold is the humidity, the more dryer the air the cold does not feel that cold , however add humidity to that cold and it just makes it feel a lot colder here in quebec we get a fair amount of humidity with the cold , its just cuts through the clothing especially if you are training

@eddiegaul1903 Год назад

Cool video Phily and welcome to the US. Yeah the altitude adjustment can take a while. I move from about 900 feet to 4500 feet (and I can easily get up to 9000 feet) and it was a bit of a struggle for a while. You get used to it but it will always take a hit on your performance. I figure I am about 30 seconds slower on my 5K as a result. When I go to lower altitudes to run though I do get a lot of speed / energy as a result. I do think the temperatures aren't as bad at the higher altitudes because of moisture. Flagstaff is pretty dry so 32F feels warmer than 32F in higher moisture areas. I am about 8 hours north of you. Enjoy the US! Can't wait to see what else you think of it here.

@flwi Год назад

It's beautiful up there. Enjoy the mountains! I remember our mountainbike tour over the Alps (from Germany to Italy). When we crossed ~2100m I could see my heart rate go up and I had to breathe heavier. At >2400m it was 1 step 1 breath ;-) We had to push/carry/lift/swear our bikes over some big boulders at that point.

@roryfollinpiano2161 Год назад

Lower humidity and lower temperatures (oddly enough) helps it feel less cold (look up the triple point of water if ur interested, but in the UK it makes cold weather brutal)

Lower humidity in Flagstaff vs where ever you were thinking of, is my explanation of why -5 degrees doesn't seem as cold

@IainThacker Год назад

Looks absolutely awesome, it'd be hard to stay off the trails living somewhere like that! What're the long-term benefits of the altitude training? I assume the physiological ones will revert over time but does this training supercharge the start of the season?

@TheJhtlag Год назад

Wonder about that myself, even reading the red blood cell thing reverts back in only 15 days, so yeah, I could see that getting the physiology up to boil for the season.

@hellomark1 Год назад

Thanks for this video, it's great! How many people in your group flew over to altitude train? Is this something that's constantly going on? It seemed like there were vastly different numbers of runners on each run. I'd love to try altitude training, I'm very much a lowland runner.

@samduha650 Год назад

Was just in the UK. I can confirm. 5 degrees there feels like -15 here. It's the humidity.

@PaulBeverley Год назад

@laurenceegan6136 Год назад

Some will no doubt refute this (and others may ridicule), but I really struggled with trying to run a 5km tempo at just under 2000ft in Sarajevo last summer. I felt the upshots when I came back, though! 😄 But I'd love to stay in a place at some kind of altitude for a spell to get the benefits of such...

@shaylorcyclingwahoolecol8313 Год назад

Currently skiing in a village at just over 6000ft. Running every day too and finding the altitude fine, just as long as I don’t look at my watch, because then I see the truth. Although I’m also running on snow tracks, so I tell myself it’s that 😂. Just looking forward to the gainz at sea level, hopefully 😂. Oh… and it was “feels like -16c” this morning. Didn’t even know one could get a cold tongue 🥶👅, but it seems you can!

@iq_by_0303 Год назад

It doesn't feel as cold as in the UK bacause of the sun (In the UK there ain't no sun) and the air is very humid in the UK (It's an Island), which makes you feel colder at the same temperature

@PhilyBowden Год назад

That is true it does stay pretty sunny out here most of the time!

Yeah, she's pitching stuff which is fine and understood, but the codes that help her only work in England, I'm sure one can dig around and find them on Amazon though. Odd that she's speaking in miles which get subtitled in km. I'll have to give her site a shot though to see if it works over here somehow.

@hassonmusic Год назад

Great training! I live in phx and I'm just wondering if you know the name of the road that you ran near wet beaver creek? Thanks, hope you enjoy AZ!

@etapepartners Год назад

flagstaff is very dry and you are at altitude. I live in Montana and its similar : 1) very low humidity doesn't feel as chilly as "damp cold" 2) higher altitude sun feels warmer...but shade also feels colder. last summer I moved from sea level to 6,000ft and I do my training at 7,000 - 10,000ft. at first it was nearly impossible to run in Z1...running easy always crept into AeT/Z2...but that improves after acclimatization. BUT the big thing is that my L3 - L4 zones are lower at altitude than they are at sea level...and that is normal for athletes of all calibers. eg. trying to do intervals at 9,000ft in a Z3 zone established at sea level is nearly impossible. speeds at altitude are slower( its why competition qualifiers have altitude adjustments)...muscles require X amount of Oxygen to work at Y speed, and X is a function of HR...as Y decreases, HR decreases... its why learning to understand how you *feel* in each zone is critical. you can;t just look at the sea level numbers and use them as-is as altitude....I also compete at elevations up to 11,500( eg. top of the Snowbowl ski resort in Flagstaff....check out the Sky Peaks trail running race....goes up and over the top of Snowbowl :) )

@Connoratess Год назад

Very nice video! What kind of warm up and cool down do you do? Does everyone do them as a group?

@PhilyBowden Год назад

Just 20 mins of easy jogging, drills and 100m strides, yeah we do :)

@akrylamid Год назад

Endurance in the cold question: Have you ever tried running with a heat exchanger e.g. the lungplus or something? I found them slightly annoying at first but it was so much nicer to breathe at -5C and below with it when running.

@toddapplegate3988 Год назад

HR monitoring is very important at altitude. No it's not crazy the sun at -5 combination is real. On top of that everyone responses different at altitude so good choice not pushing to keep up. You do you is very important.

@TMM6944 Год назад

Some years back we went to Kenya and we were close to a place called Iten, there were loads of runners doing various training sessions, back then I was fit and a keen runner but nothing technical, never knew anything about heart rates and split times. Anyway we decided to go for a run and YIKES, Iten is at 8.000ft and needless to say we almost died. Great content here but, your room (the aftermath of the bomb blast) triggered me, get a grip girl.

Why you dont share your trainning in Strava?

@nath9091 Год назад

Most elites don't for several good reasons. Primarily it gives a lot of information to your competitors on your fitness levels, your goal race paces (just look at the intervals) and therefore your strengths and weaknesses. This would enable someone to create a race plan against you giving them an informational edge. Another good reason especially for the women is privacy and safety. They do a lot of runs weekly and a lot of those are going to be solo runs near to their house on quiet roads and trails. It'd be easy from Strava data to identify regular routes and times and stalk these. This is potentially still possible from images and videos, but why make it easy. There might be others but those two should explain a lot of it.

@run-watch Год назад
