Mammoth training

[ilikerunning]

We usually go every summer to train in mammoth before our cross country season. we put in a lot of miles (90 a week). But my question is, how long do you have to be up there for it to have an effect? Some people say 2 months of altitude training? maybe less? maybe more? we usually go for 2 weeks, but maybe is not enough for it to have an effect. How long do you think we should go for?

I'd suggest reading up on the subject. Some of the best information comes from Dr Joe Vigil's book Road to the Top. You can get it here if you don't happen to own the text:
