Best Answer

Long distance runners who train at high altitude develop greater lung capacity relative to those who train at or near sea level. Consequently, when these high altitude runners compete with runners from lower altitudes, they have an advantage regardless of whether they compete at lower or higher altitudes.

What sort of health benefits do you get from running in high altitude?

Less than what you get from running in low altitude, because the partial pressure of oxygen (and other gasses, too) is lower. This means your body doesn't get as much oxygen, so you can't work as hard, and it leads to oxygen deprivation. Don't do it until AFTER acclimating to the altitude.
