I was just wondering what everyone thinks about the best altitude training location in the US. A couple of buddies and I are thinking about living at elevation for a summer to train for our senior cross country season. A place where we could work jobs during the day to support our venture would work best. We have toyed with the idea of Colorado but any suggestions work!

Boulder Colorado!Hands down... You could live in Broomfield or Louisville. Beautiful scenery, awesome food, terrific trails and just about perfect altitude, couldn't be better. Plus you enjoy all the benefits of living close to Denver. Would also look into Laramie, Wyoming. Although not as "Fun" as Boulder.

Everytime this comes up I say the same thing - in the summer in Colorado and looking to run a lot on the cheap you need to go to Leadville, Gunnison or Crested Butte. You can find a job doing manual labor, waiting tables, fast food or something else that you may find rather rather unpleaseant. But the running will be great.
