_ I do it every weekend I can get away and for me it's often
hit or miss. Somedays fine and somedays I suffer, I don't
keep a precise enough exercise diary to isolate any
causes. Really frustrating to put that much energy into
getting out and up there and not have the gas in the tank.


_ As far as heart rate goes, your maximum and minimum
heart rates squeeze together as you increase altitude.
Your resting hr will rise and your lacate threshold
drop. If you have the time, taking it easy the first
day or so will help a lot over a 1 week trip.
