How to structure your training week using our altitude chamber?
Keep it simple:
1-2 HIIT sessions at altitude

Lactate
In a world of threshold testing and sports science, lactate may be the most talked about but perhaps misunderstood molecule on the planet.
In the latest on our blog, Performance Specialst Will Pastor takes us on the deep dive for all things lactate, to show us why it's not the villain it's made out to be
Altitude training triggers a cascade of physiological responses, from breathing and heart rate to oxygen transport and muscle metabolism, all designed to help your body cope with lower oxygen availability.
Swipe through for a simple breakdown of what happens when you train at altitude. In the next few weeks we'll be diving into the physiology, so follow along for more!
