I hope this does not sound like too dumb of a question. Are they any places that one could train at a pretty good altitude on the East Coast? Like, Anywhere on the east side of the missisippi? I am just curious. i am not talking about an equivialeent to Colorado with 9000 ft altitude, but just a place with some good trails at a pretty good elevation. Thanks.

depends on your definition of "elevation"
places with over 5,000 foot summits
Adirondacks, NY
White Mountains, NH
Mount Katahdin, ME
Mount Rodgers, VA
Great Smoky Mountains, TN/NC
Some of my teammates (I live in Massachusetts) have done pretty well up in New Hampshire . . . they have a mountain running circuit up here . . . and I'm sure there is someone on this board who can recommend something in the Southeast, where its a bit warmer
Anywhere in the Middle of Colorado and Utah
Maybe the East Coast of Africa.
