At moderate altitude, there appears to be no need for several days of easy work before harder training or racing can take place. In early altitude races, particular care must be given to race pace; an even pace is more vital to success than is true of sea-level races. Interval training sessions do not always paint a realistic picture of the effects of altitude, and it is easy to develop a false sense of security regarding the intensity that can be maintained for a prolonged hard effort. When a few weeks of training at altitude have been completed, the runner will usually find that a race effort feels about the same as at sea level, but it is a little slower (Figure 1 2 can be used to esti- Altitude 43 mate a reasonable pace).
S E CTION 3 Environmental Considerations TEMPERATURE The human body is far better equipped to handle cold tempera tures than it is hot. This is particularly true when we are concerned with hard physical work or distance running in various environmental conditions. Since a great deal of the energy produced by the body is released in the form of heat, the temperature-regulating mechanisms are doubly stressed during exercise in conditions of excessive environ mental heat. On the other hand, since physical exercise does internally heat the body, running in the cold presents little handicap until tem peratures are low enough to cause possible damage to exposed body parts.
About 9000 milliliters of oxygen are consumed. If the runner con tinued at the same pace for I 0 minutes, the remaining seven minutes of work would result in the consumption of 28 ,000 milliliters 02 (seven minutes X 4000 milliliters per minute). steeper, the 02 deficit incurred during the first three minutes of running would be a little greater than that in 7a, - about 3500 milliliters. Should the running continue at a speed requiring 1 00 percent of V02 maximum for I O minutes, the remaining 3 5 ,000 milliliters 02 (seven minutes X 5000 milliliters per minute) would theoretically be provided for aerobically without further anaerobic involvement.
