Acute Mountain Sickness is not about toughness or fitness. It is a mismatch between ascent speed and adaptation capacity. This article explains the earliest warning signs, what raises risk, and the practical rules mountain athletes should follow to prevent AMS and react early when symptoms appear.

Most athletes ask for a simple number, but acclimatization works in phases. This article explains what really happens in the first days, after one week, and after two weeks at altitude, so you can plan arrival timing around performance, safety, and the real stress imposed by elevation.

Altitude is not just harder training. It changes oxygen delivery, pacing, recovery, fueling, and how stress accumulates. This article gives mountain athletes a practical framework to prepare for altitude, train sensibly once high, and avoid the classic mistake of pushing sea-level expectations into a hypoxic environment.
