"Most teams travel to Utah or Colorado after the season to train in high-altitude climates and improve their aerobic fitness".
Paper Title: Global radiative forcing from contrail cirrus Journal: Nature Climate Change Authors: U. Burkhardt and B. Kärche The Gist: Airplane contrails (condensation that forms behind high altitude jetliners) affect climate in a number of complicated ways, and may have a stronger warming effect than the CO2 emissions from the jet engines.
The high altitude and cold climate of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (QTP) means that rivers and lakes are covered by ice for 6 7 months of the year.
In southern high altitude regions of India, climate and vegetation seem to have responded to past global climatic changes (Rajagopalan et al. 1997).

So while Ethiopia is a paradise for runners with its combination of high altitude, breathtaking tracks and mild climate throughout most of the year, there is no major international running event in the country.
Natural environment of the wild F. vesca is more cold climate and high altitude than F. xananassa [ 3], and it is probable that its cultivation under temperate conditions triggers the heat stress response.
According to Hughes and Eastwood [ 27] these factors would be the large scale of the area over which the radiation extends, repeated fragmentation of high altitude habitats due to quaternary climate fluctuations, the extremely dissected topography, and the habitat heterogeneity.
