I used to live at 7,000 feet. I wasn't a runner then but I went back about 10 years later and was shocked at how hard it was just walking up stairs.
A few things:
- It will take a couple days to adjust so take it easy.
- I'm not sure where the line is for risk of high altitude sickness so if I was you I'd research that.
- Bring extra water with you. Dehydration comes fast. I couldn't get enough of it while visiting.
I'm sure others will chime in but those are what popped into my head.
I'm jealous. I've always wanted to visit NM.
