Dear rekrunner, I hope I have whet your appetite on not the endless potential research possibilities for high-performance sport with RF and EMF but what is already a beyond forgone conclusion about an actual causation between the both of them!
It's 2024 today. The first scientific forays into the health effects of anthropogenic RF and EMF was around 1930 while the first complaints about the same health effects was almost immediately after the introduction of the light bulb and electricity in the 1870s and 1880s. More sophisticated forays into health effects came after WWII from the 1940s and 50s onwards just before the Cold War and continued intensifying throughout it. We have therefore a grand total of at least 90 years of actual scientific and medical development in this area despite what is claimed otherwise in the corrupt media, and more than 140 years of complaints from the human population. Joe Biden or Rishi Sunak are those types of men or figures who will likely tell you 'oh it's nothing to worry it's safe and healthy', or 'the research is only a decade old and more research is needed'.
Also in the realm of RF and EMF, due to its powerful existential nature, you never treat a 'maybe' as a 'maybe'. Conventional ways of operating and thinking about 'maybe' do not ever work with powerful existential entities like RF and EMF. A 'maybe' in RF and EMF is worth no less than a '100%' in the affirmative because the advantage lies with existence rather than non-existence!!! The advantage always lies with 'benefit of the doubt' rather than 'no benefit of the doubt'. Where there is doubt in RF and EMF, it is automatically always safe to assume in the affirmative rather than in the disaffirmative.
RF and EMF is just so core, so central to human creation, human consciousness and human existence that all human research and experimentation that casts doubt or wants to deny its temporality on our existence is automatically always pretentious and falsifiable without further ado!
I don't doubt the existence of RF and EMF and the existence of research surrounding it.
But you are jumping to conclusions about how much damage it is doing and that it is significantly impacting athletic performance, which seems to exceed the boundaries of the existance of what has been studied in the last 90-140 years.
I just note that in the last 90-140 years, athletes have only gotten faster, despite the increase in exposure to RF and EMF.
My gosh, I don't really know how to speak with you as we are obviously on different brain wavelengths and frequencies.
I'm like totally dumbfounded here! Do you know how teeny or tiny the ignition switch current needed to start the comparably humongous engine current of your car or vehicle?
In the realm of electromagnetic fields and forces, no cause is too tiny for its (huge) impact!!! Every cause of electricity and magnetism has humongous consequences/impacts/effects in space and time, please I'm urging you!!! The morality and spirituality/philosophy of electromagnetic physics is vastly different from what you are used to in every other area of study of human existence, dear rekrunner!
I give you another analogy of electromagnetic philosophy and morality: every tiny droplet of water in the vast ocean is significant and impactful IN SPACE AND TIME because it conserves the entire vast ocean at once!!!
Ponder about that and also read Scripture to gain moral wisdom and understanding that can be synchronized with electromagnetic one! Sinful human beings like politicians and salesmen cannot comprehend nor fathom such divine electromagnetic wisdom and understanding! Neither sex maniacs and perverts, alcohol and drug addicts, cigarette puffers etc. They just dun have it in them, they are foregone and condemned human beings for all intents and purposes but of course I still pray for them!

Wow, I was going to comment on the OP's question, but the amount of BS and useless drivel here makes it exhausting.
Altitude training is only useful if it is done correctly. Vigil is one of the few coaches in the US who has done it right in the past. I'm talking specifically about those coaches or athletes who think 2-3 weeks at altitude will benefit them for any extended period of time. Taking a scientific approach, a 5 week stint with blood work prior, after 2.5-3 weeks and then again after the 5 weeks can provide useful information. If the pre-test shows an iron problem that is not addressed, then you've wasted a lot of time and money. In addition, live high/train low should be employed frequently and certainly, when you race and the appropriate taper, should also be factored in. One pro group recently brought their athletes to 6-7000 feet, had them do their highest mileage week a week before their goal marathon, and then couldn't figure why they bombed in the event. A waste of time and money.

"....one pro group recently went to altitude....and couldn't figure why they bombed?"
Lol Mr Smartypants, you really think you know all about altitude huh? You couldn't even figure out why they bombed when I already have all the answers long before you posted your comment? Please carefully dissect all my drivel and BS will you for the actual answer?
First of all, humble yourself and admit the 1st law of altitude: elevation above the surface of the earth increases as its electromagnetic potential from the same in accordance with Poynting's ( ala John Henry Poynting!!!) vector!!!
If you want to be a champion of knowledge and understanding like me, Khamis, you gotta start from FIRST PRINCIPLES ala the principles of electricity!!! From there you proceed to learn how your electrical cells adapt to an electrical phenomenon of elevation above the earth's surface!
Wow, please accept my apology! Of course it wasn’t the 100 miles at 7000 feet 1 week out that did their legs in. How stupid of me to not realize it was the microwave nachos, selfies and computer time on LRC that did them in! And nice job liking your own post. Touché

Now you are getting it. Don't even try to argue with the Unblemished One, just listen and learn, listen and learn.

Look, no pro team is so childish enough to do 100 miles one week from a goal race marathon. I think you are lying! Every pro coach knows to taper at least 2 weeks out from a goal marathon. I think you are just trying to defend yourself strategically from my unbeatable wisdom and understanding.

It seems you don't. It's mainly a question of which verb tenses you use. Instead of talking about hindered sport performance in potentials and hypotheticals using future and conditional and subjective tenses, I am waiting now for the moment in space and time when and where all these 100+ years of research allows you to speak in the past tense about what really happened with respect to sport performance.

You see what it is like when someone overuses false arrogance as his primary tool, supported mainly by faith and imagination, and is reluctant/unable to produce the minimum tangible supporting facts, evidence, and observations?
Dear Armstrong, why don't I request in the vein of rekrunner to ask you to present me with evidence in past tense of my 'insanity' whatever that means? Point to me the scientific publication or doctor's report about me Khamis the RF King which specifically uses the precise word 'insane' in the past tense and not some futuristic dream!!
I'm sure rekrunner will be proud of you because 'past tense' is his thing lol!

Look dear rekrunner, I think your slow wittedness in the area of electromagnetic existence has riled up our dearest Armstrong to the extent that he mistakenly believes I'm the one given to insanity.
For me to help you understand you, I first need to enquire with you from which school or academia of indoctrination did you ever learn the bad habit/spirit or otherwise of requiring absolute evidence in the past tense between 2 temporal events in space and time in order for you to speak or think unequivocally about the degree of susceptibility of their relationship or lack thereof????
If it's more convincing, give me names of Professors, Judges, Lawyers, Doctors who practices such bad habit/spirit will you???
After you have done so, then will I completely show you why such practice and practitioners is immoral and predisposed towards a culture of immoral thinking and acting more often than not.
They say good lawyers turn black or darkness in white or brilliance! Well I'm way better than a lawyer! As an electromagnetic King I will turn rekrunner's world of assumptions regarding 'cause and effect' UPSIDE DOWN and un-indoctrinate and re-indoctrinate him!!!

'False arrogance'
I mainly ask you if you were willing to admit that elevation about earth's surface is equal to the total electromagnetic flux flowing through that elevation towards the Sun Star and vice versa ala Poynting's vector but you avoided my confrontation as this is the most basic and crucial element in understanding why electromagnetic entities like RF and EMF affects high-performance sport.
'Faith and imagination...'
You don't accuse the person who has embarrassed you of your lack of understanding of Poynting's vector and electromagnetic flux at elevation ala the aforementioned of imagining these things just because you have never studied it in your life or come across it? If you don't know the things that you have never known, that's normal, I'm here to point to you the way but you need to stop asking for my 'removal' just because this is an anonymous forum!!! Then why isn't this entire anonymous forum removed with immediate effect rather?
'Reluctant/unable to produce the tangible facts and evidence (in the past tense)....'
In my other reply, I already tried to understand your anachronistic modus operandi or philosophy of only waiting for evidence in the present or past tense in direct relation to any matter of concern like high-performance in order to make an unequivocal decision about said matter?

I am a student of the scientific method. After the preliminary step of asking questions and forming a hypothesis, two important steps are "Test with Experiment" and "Analyze Data".
The scientific method is an empirical method for acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century (with notable practitioners in previous centuries; see the article history...
The names of professors, judges, lawyers, doctors, and students are too numerous to mention, dating as far back as an Egyption text circa 1600 BCE, but here is a good starting point:
The history of scientific method considers changes in the methodology of scientific inquiry, as distinct from the history of science itself. The development of rules for scientific reasoning has not been straightforward; scie...

What did I avoid? I don't doubt the existence of RF and EMF. It has existed on earth as long as the Sun and Earth have existed.
Besides Dr. Jill, my Functional Medicine Expert, which RF/EMF researcher has taken a good look at athletic performance.
What is Poynting's best marathon time, with and without RF/EMF exposure?

has a nice summary of other sources that make claims about adaptations to altitude. Some changes are seen almost immediately (1-3 days) but full acclimatization takes around 2 weeks. It doesn't mention de-acclimization, but it's safe to assume that, if you leave altitude, your body will adapt back to sea level training in around that time frame.
the fact this post had 100% upvotes before i came across it goes to show how absolutely ignorant the majority of this board is
The primary adaptation to training at altitude (2000m+) is an increase in red blood cells and therefore an increase in oxygen carrying capacity - which is the limiting factor for endurance performance.
Adaptation takes 3 weeks, and will provide a benefit for 1-2 weeks upon returning to sea level. There is also a suggestion that individuals adapt faster with repeated exposures (ie., going to altitude multiple times per year).
The key is the amount of hours spent at altitude - so one new paradigm is live high train high with trips to even higher (think similar to what mountaineers do going from base camp to camp 1 etc). But as others have noted there are limits to what type of work can be done at elevation, so some do workouts at relatively lower altitudes to do race pace efforts.
And another absolute cretin speaking as if they know what they are talking about
This board has really gone downhill over the years
