It seems like such an awesome place for running once you acclimate to the altitude. I know exactly what you mean about your lungs ... when we went to Seattle I felt the same thing just hiking. I dramatically told Adam that I was starting to black out near the top of Mount Si, but really I was only half joking. <br /><br />I bet Paul loved the tour of Mile High!

A friend of mine is spending some time in Arizona this summer at 7,000 feet and when they tell me that they are going running, I just wish them luck and thank goodness I'm not them!

It's crazy what a difference that makes, huh? It really makes even walking stairs challenging! Also the sun feels more blazing in co. too. When I was there in March I felt like I was going to spontaneously combust because the sun was so intense. Looks so beautiful though!

Or do you never fully adjust??? I think if you are training on flats, you will still be ready for any hills you encounter at MCM due to the altitude!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-7832044117218680082014-07-06T10:05:43.124-04:002014-07-06T10:05:43.124-04:00Oh my gosh, the scenery is beautiful!

I have been here 2.5 years and STILL bitch about the altitude. I did a goal pace workout yesterday but I HAD to do it on flats. I'm honestly not sure how to train out here because it feels just like you said. You breathe in but it's like you aren't filling your lungs. And it BURNS.
