    I plan on doing a five week training stint at altitude (6-7k feet) for the first time. How soon should I wait before coming down to run a big 5k? I am think about coming down three days before the 5k. Am I close?

    Nope. 24 hours, less if possible.

    The body adapts quickly.

    I've heard 1 week is most ideal.
