I remember reading from Daniels (maybe Levine?) that altitude benefits are greatest at 2500-2900m (8500-9500 ft approx) provided that athletes train low while living at such altitudes. Anyone know which researcher said this and (anecdotally) if such is true?
Thanks.

Benefits for what?
8500-9500ft is already pretty high. You might have already trouble sleeping at that altitude.
Hemoglobin production^...sorry I didn't clarify earlier.
Live and procreate at higher elevations for three plus generations. Genes may mutate. South American highlanders, Ethiopians and those from Nepal are most resistant to acute & chronic altitude sickness. Sea level individuals are increasing risk of injury training at higher elevations which may counter the performance advantages of higher elevation.
