Hi All.
With all the discussions about acclimatization, AMS- those who get it and those who don't and general performance on a mountain - for my own research, I'd like to pose a few questions to everyone to respond:
1. Do you often get AMS or have you gotten AMS when going higher up? (or have you felt like crap high up and not attribute it to AMS) and
2. How do you train on a weekly basis? - here, be as specific as possible, i.e. # times/week; duration/intensity, and importantly, what is your heart rate while doing your activity (running, biking, climbing, hiking, rowing, swimming, etc...Do you formally exercise in a gym with weights and machines or is daily/weekly hiking/climbing your primary exercise? Do you even keep track of your heart rate?
3. What elevation do you live at and/or do you spend a lot of time above 10,000ft?
I am testing a theory I have, based on my own experience (I am not publishing anything nor work for any scientific establishment).
Thanks!
Rob
