I know EPO/Erythropoeitin/EpoGen/Procrit (human/recombinant) are illegal so spare the illegal conviction comments! The only reason is for questions if hypothetically someone was training to race 1500 - 5000 on EPO! What can they achieve and how it can chage your training workload...
- When training on EPO does it enable you to handle more workload at a faster pace because onset lactate takes longer to accumulate?
- Say your lifetime PB is 14:19 with training intensity increases and mileage increases with EPO what is a logical prediction for a new PB?
- What is the typical recovery time and how much quicker do you recover on EPO?
- What is safe level to raise your hemoglobin/hematocrit before thrombotic events occur?
- Males are usually at a hemoglobin level of 14-18g/dl with hematocrit level of 42-52% RBCs:4-5.5 x 10 to the 6th power/mm to the 3rd power and WBCs: 5-10 x 10 to the 6th power/mm to the 3rd power
- how many points can you raise before you become polyerythrocynic?
If someone has true scientific knowledge on this matter please feel free to comment. Educational only - there is no health related trials with athletes on EPO and training correlaries, unless you include cheating athletes; the only studies are on people with chroic kidney failure, bone marrow cancer, and HIV patients - I am asking for true athletic empirical training information! As mentioned previously I know it is not legal so spare the convictions purely educational and medical knowledge basis.
