I wanted to share with you my experience at Big Sky in Bright, and how this experience is different from what I feel when at home in Sydney. My auxiliary training (everything outside of my sessions) in Bright was almost identical to what I’d do in Sydney. I had one run that was longer than what I’d normally do, but that was really it. However, there were two things that were drastically different during my time here- the altitude I slept and recovered at, and the different styles of session that I experienced as a result of being here. This feeds in to my discussion of altitude training versus the training camp effect.
Session time, Bright has amazing running trails, grass ovals and forests all within a very short run of Altitude 1’s front door. We warm up from the front door and run to the nearby pine forest, this is a great place for our morning threshold run followed by some speed work. The trails are smooth, flat and sheltered, leading to all of us having a great session. It’s warm and sunny and we cool down back to our house happy.
