I was wondering if anyone has tries those altitude training masks? They say they replicate training at high altitudes, and thus improve your red blood cell/hemoglobin count, the legal way, not like blood doping. They're usually $80 so before I invest in that I thought I'd get some opinions here. Also I read about the Buteyko breathing method from Russia. It's been popularized by a guy named Patrick Mckeowan. He says this method is similar to altitude training without the mask ( or traveling to the mountains!). Essentially breathing through the nose. Will these methods improve red blood count, V02Max,etc?
