Asbel Kiprop is probably the only person on the planet today that could do that workout.
OK?
No, not "ok?". If altitude helps for 1 sprint, why wouldn't it help for more sprints? You haven't explained that. You are just saying things.
Because it's harder to recover in 50 seconds at altitude than it is at sea level, even if the air is slightly thinner. Get it?
