Training or living at altitude is a tactic many cyclists use to improve their physiology and prepare for races at altitude. In recent years, more research has been carried out on the subject and different theories have developed. Cyclingnews caught up with Dr John Hellemans, a sports medicine practitioner and former athlete based in New Zealand, who has extensive experience on the subject. Dr Hellemans has been invloved in altitude camps as both coach and athlete for many years and provides an overview of altitude training and how to handle it.
