Richard gained his first experience of simulated altitude training in New Zealand where he rowed for the Auckland Redbacks. Since then he has travelled around the world meeting and discussing altitude training techniques with advocates of each of the various disciplines, SHTL (sleep high, train low), SLTH (sleep low, train high), SHTHTL (sleep high, train high, train low) and IHT (Intermittent Hypoxic Training).

Richard regularly attends High Altitude symposiums around the world and completed his formal training on IHT in Melbourne, Australia.

Richard looks at the needs of the individual and devises an appropriate altitude training strategy that fits with their lifestyle and training goals.
